SP-BSP coalition mocked on social media | 2019 Kaun Jitega

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leaving the Congress out of the alliance in Uttar Pradesh was not a "setback" for his party, and stressed that the poll results "would surprise people".

"The SP and BSP have every right to have an alliance. It's their political decision. They might have taken it after due consideration. I won't call it a setback because the BJP is anyway not going to win any seats in Uttar Pradesh," Gandhi said at a press conference here.
