Akhilesh Yadav to Join Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Agra on February 25

Lucknow: A day after finalizing a seat-sharing deal for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party (SP) announced on Thursday that its chief Akhilesh Yadav will join Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Agra on February 25th.

The invitation for Yadav’s participation was extended during a visit by Congress leaders to the Samajwadi Party office, where Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai, along with senior party leader PL Punia and others, presented a letter from party president Mallikarjun Kharge.

Confirming Yadav’s attendance, SP National Secretary Rajendra Chaudhury stated, “I have received the letter as Akhilesh Yadav is not in Lucknow.” He further mentioned that Yadav is expected to join the yatra in Agra at 2 pm on February 25.

Under the recently announced seat-sharing arrangement, the Congress is set to contest 17 out of the 80 parliamentary seats in Uttar Pradesh, solidifying the alliance between the two major political entities in the state.
