"Neta ji (Mulayam Singh), being the 'supreme' leader of the party, is entitled to take call on any alliance. There rae no such talks going on. Had there been any possibility of a tie-up, the call would have been taken by now," Shivpal told ABP News.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has been saying that a tie-up between SP and Congress would fetch over 300 of the 403 Assembly seats in the upcoming elections while a section of Congress said it is not averse to a "respectable" seat-sharing formula.
"Though samajwadis are going to form majority government in the state, if an alliance takes place, it will win over 300 seats. The final decision in this regard will be taken by SP National president (Mulayam Singh Yadav)," Akhilesh had said.
On being asked about the internal rift, Shivpal said there is no rift in the party now and the family stands united. Chief minister and our party members are busy preparing for elections. The disagreements within the family were over, now our focus is now on winning the elections.
