The Samajwadi Party held a long-day state executive meeting today at the Samajwadi Party office in Lucknow, where SP National President Akhilesh Yadav, National General Secretary Shivpal Singh Yadav, Ramgopal Yadav, and many other senior leaders were present.

The Samajwadi Party itself is capable of fighting and winning on all 80 Lok Sabha seats in UP but being a part of the alliance, it will fight on 65 seats. If, in the future, we are not fighting in alliance, then we will fight on all 80 seats."
