Congress' UP vision, and what angers SP rank and file

Lucknow/Kanpur, February 23Today's resounding defeat of the Congress party in the civic polls in Maharashtra brought forth much commentary on all that is wrong with the party. But in Uttar Pradesh, and to the chagrin of the old timers in the Samajwadi Party, the Congress looks to be putting in place a strategy that could help it rebuild the party in that state in the years to come.Of the 403 seats in the Uttar Pradesh assembly, the Congress is contesting 105, or 26 per cent of the seats, in alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
