Lok Sabha polls: Samajwadi Party calls off alliance with Apna Dal

Following Apna Dal (Kameravadi)'s announcement of Lok Sabha candidates in UP, the Samajwadi Party swiftly severs ties with its ally. President Akhilesh Yadav confirmed the split, citing the cessation of their alliance. The rupture surfaced during the Rajya Sabha elections when an Apna Dal legislator supported an SP candidate. Lack of consultation on UP's Mirzapur seat further fueled the discord, marking a decisive rift.
