Lucknow: UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has said that a Grand Alliance against the BJP was possible in Uttar Pradesh too where assembly elections are due in 2017.
In an informal chat with reporters in Sant Kabir Nagar on Sunday, the chief minister made this statement but refused to elaborate on the parties which could be a part of the Grand Alliance in the state.
“There is still a lot of time for the elections and you will know in due course about other things,” he said. The CM, who was on a private visit to Sant Kabir Nagar, said people in Bihar had given their decision in favour of development.
“In the UP panchayat polls, the people have favoured the Samajwadi government’s development plank”, he added.
