The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Sunday said the opposition parties are extremely disturbed by the unity of the first family of Uttar Pradesh and therefore spreading rumours against the party.

"Mulayam Singh Yadav's blessings are always there with us. Everything in the party is absolutely fine. The opposition is in fear and that's why they want that rumours about us are spread," Samajwadi Party leader Gaurav Bhatia told ANI.

He further said that the Samajwadi Party would form the government soon and would win more seats in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.

"There is something for everyone be it farmers, labourers, youth. Rs. 1,000 pension will be given to one crore people. We are also trying to make metros available in other cities," he added.

Appreciating Akhilesh Yadav, Bhatia said that the Chief Minister has a clean and pure image.

"Infrastructure, heath and education are our main priority. All of these points fall under our manifesto. Mulayam Singh Yadav is such a leader which none of the parties have," he added.

Reacting on the absence of Mulayam Singh Yadav in the manifesto function, Bhatia said that for some unforeseen reason the former (Mulayam Singh Yadav) could not attend the function, adding that that the Samajwadi Party supremo would be campaigning for the party.

Putting all speculations to rest, the Congress and the Samajwadi Party has finally forged an alliance for the high-voltage Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.

The Congress, which wanted to contest as many as 121 seats, has reportedly now settled for 105 seats.

Uttar Pradesh will vote in seven phases beginning February 11 and results will be announced on March 11.
