In response to this, political analyst Amitabh Tiwari says, “When SP and Congress fought together in 2017, their vote was limited to the MY (Muslim-Yadav) vote, which is 30 per cent of the population.

In such a situation, how many seats will the SP-Congress alliance be able to claim. “There is no exact equation. If people have a lot of anger, something can happen.”
