Political friction between Samajwadi Party and BJP over 80-20 formula

A political dispute has intensified between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Samajwadi Party over the 80-20 formula ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. According to a report by India Today, this controversy began after a statement made by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

During the 'Panchayat Aaj Tak' programme organised in Ayodhya, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made certain remarks regarding the selection of voters. Reacting to this statement, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav responded via social media. Yadav suggested that the alliance under the BJP leadership is limited to contesting elections on only 80 seats.

Furthermore, Akhilesh Yadav claimed that the PDA alliance could prove to be stronger than the NDA. In this manner, a war of words regarding numerical formulas is being witnessed between the two parties before the elections.

On the other hand, political tension has also escalated prior to Akhilesh Yadav's visit to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Differences are also being observed between the Samajwadi Party and the BJP regarding past actions and temple funds, which has increased the bitterness between the two parties in the election atmosphere.
