SP's red caps boost Congress' chances in Amethi, Rae Bareli
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav's directive to party workers in the 17 seats where Congress is contesting in Uttar Pradesh has been working as a team to ensure the victory of "INDIA bloc candidates" in the high-profile seats of Amethi and Rae Bareli. The SP-Congress alliance, which failed to take off in the 2017 assembly polls, is now working as a "declared alliance," with workers more enthused and committed to ensuring that INDIA bloc candidates Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli and Kishori Lal Sharma in Amethi score big wins.
