Akhilesh Yadav launches PDA Yatra from Rae Bareli as SP-Congress alliance comes under scrutiny

Akhilesh Yadav, chief of the Samajwadi Party, has launched the PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) Yatra from Rae Bareli, a move that has reignited focus on the relationship between the SP and Congress within their broader opposition coalition.

The yatra marks a significant political initiative by the SP as it seeks to consolidate support among backward classes, Dalits, and minorities ahead of upcoming electoral contests. The timing of the campaign has also brought scrutiny to how the two parties coordinate within their alliance framework.
