Why is Akhilesh upset with Congress?

Akhilesh Yadav, President of Samajwadi Party (SP), appears to be unhappy with the Congress for not consulting him about the changes made to his seating arrangement in Lok Sabha. Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad, who sat alongside Yadav in the front row, has been shifted to the second row of the Parliament. The Party had demanded the two front-row seats for Akhilesh Yadav and Awadhesh Prasad. However, only one seat was allocated to the INDIA bloc ally, which went to the SP Chief.

BJP has a reason to smile

Cracks have apparently developed in the allies of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc. Around 2.15 pm on Wednesday, the Congress walked out of the Rajya Sabha over farmers’ issue, nudging other bloc partners to come along. But no one did. The political analysts are trying to find out message behind the staying back of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Communist Party Of India (CPI), CPI(M), Trinamool Congress (TMC), Samajwadi Party (SP), Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). It is said that the parties have conveyed to the Congress that the way to fight the BJP is not disruption but taking them on. However, this development has given BJP a reason to smile.
