Gujarat polls 2017: Akhilesh Yadav says will urge people to vote for SP, Cong

Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said his party will contest a few seats in Gujarat polls. He said he has urged people to vote for his party and Congress also.

“We will go for campaign there as well,” he said.

Samajwadi party had already contested Uttar Pradesh polls with Congress and the party would continue its support in Gujarat too.

On Tuesday, Akhilesh appealed to people to decide whether they want to carry forward the "development" initiated by his party during its rule or promote the "anti-development" policies of the BJP.
