Lucknow : Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi have attacked Congress-Samajwadi Party (SP) alliance in Uttar Pradesh. His remarks echo the broader political rhetoric often deployed by the BJP during election campaigns in the state, making the opposition as politically desperate and structurally weak.

Naqvi is anticipating a critical defeat for the Congress-SP alliance in upcoming electoral contests. By saying another, he draws a parallel to previous elections (such as the 2014, 2019, and 2024 Lok Sabha elections, as well as the 2017 and 2022 Assembly elections), where the BJP consistently managed to hold a dominant position or sweep major chunks of the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh. Recently UP has become a strong base for the BJP.
This expression targets the opposition’s recurring allegations regarding the integrity of the electoral process, particularly, controversies such as Electronic Voting Machines, voter list discrepancies, and claims that the ruling party steals mandates. Naqvi rejects these claims as an exhausted, ineffective excuse used by the opposition to pre-emptively patch up their own electoral failures.
Naqvi emphasizes that the opposition's insistence on negative campaigning, internal contradictions, and caste or community-based calculations will fail to resound with voters. He suggests that without a constructive development agenda to counter the BJP’s framework, the Congress-SP alliance risks losing its relevance entirely in the state’s political landscape.

After witnessing a mixed result from their alliance under the INDIA bloc banner, the SP and Congress have attempted to present a unified front in UP to consolidate anti-BJP votes, focusing heavily on backward classes, Dalits, and minorities.

The BJP often counters this alliance by labelling it as opportunistic and dynastic. Leaders like Naqvi are deployed to argue that the opposition lacks an interconnected governance model and only comes together out of mutual political survival, rather than a shared vision for the public.
He concludes it by asserting, SP and Congress will most likely become irrelevant in the near future.
