Shivpal Yadav's election symbol is a key

Shivpal Yadav, Samajwadi Party veteran Mulayam Singh’s brother declared on Monday that his party Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) is ready to form an alliance with the Congress in Uttar Pradesh for 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.

"I am in touch with Congress. Talks are on," Shivpal said at India Today conclave. "Without the secular alliance fighting together, the BJP cannot be defeated. We have a very small group," he was quoted as saying.
Shivpal Yadav has already shown interest in forming an alliance with any secular party including the Congress to oust BJP out of power in 2019 polls. “No alliance can defeat the BJP without the support of the Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia), Bahujan Mukti Party and our other alliances. We are ready to form an alliance with other secular parties to keep the BJP out of power,” he had said.
