In Uttar Pradesh, two days after the leaders of Congress and Samajwadi Party said that they would fight the UP Assembly polls together, hard negotiations over seat sharing between the two parties and ?the? RLD ?of Ajit Singh ?have delayed formal announcement of the alliance.? However, amid intense parleys between the parties, a joint press conference is expected later today in Lucknow, sources say. Meanwhile CM Akhilesh Yadav is busy with Naresh Agrawal, Ram Gopal Yadav and others at his residence at Lucknow making deliberations about alliance and CM is also expected to make his much awaited list of candidates public today. Sources said the parties had handed each other a list of non-negotiable? ?seats? where they are confident of their winning. ?Ruling Samajwadi Party has reportedly marked 290? seats as non negotiable. Talks with RLD are also stuck over the number of seats being offered to them. Sources said RLD has been offered 15 seats while its expectations are nearly double that figure. While the Krishna Patel faction of Apna Dal has ?also ?shown interest to be part of the alliance, Congress and SP want to resolve seat sharing between themselves first and then move towards smaller partners.? Amidst of all these complications, the alliance picture is expected to be clearer by evening today.
