Akhilesh Yadav tightlipped over Opposition unity but confident his formula will defeat NDA in 2024 polls

Lucknow: Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav Saturday spelled out his PDA formula to defeat the BJP-led coalition NDA in the 2024 elections.

PDA—Pichde, Dalit, Alpasankhyak Yadav (Backward Classes, Dalits, Minorities)—would defeat the incumbent NDA in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, according to Yadav who aired his opinion at the NDV Conclave in Lucknow.

He, however, dodged questions on opposition unity key to the formation of a grand united Opposition front.

"The BJP will be defeated in all 80 Lok Sabha seats in UP if bigger national parties back us," Akhilesh Yadav was quoted as saying by NDTV.

The SP leader said he has always asserted that seat allocation should be decided keeping in my whichever party is strongest in a particular state.

He mentioned SP’s previous alliances with Congress and Mayawati’s BSP in the state, claiming that his party has always been an honest and accommodative alliance partner.

"Wherever SP has been in alliance, you wouldn't hear of us fighting over seats," he was quoted as saying by NDTV.
