'Will join Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra only if….': Akhilesh Yadav

The second list came after Akhilesh Yadav's signal to Rahul Gandhi that he would join his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra after the seat-sharing modalities were decided. Samajwadi Party is part of the Opposition INDIA bloc and has offered 17 seats to Congress for the Lok Sabha elections.

"Talks are currently ongoing, lists have come from their side and ours as well. The moment the seats are distributed and decided, the Samajwadi Party will join Congress's Nyaya Yatra," Akhilesh Yadav told reporters on Monday.
