Rift in Samajwadi Party should not strengthen BJP: Congress

New Delhi [India], Jan. 2 : Asserting the ongoing tussle of power within the Samajwadi Party in their internal matter, the Congress on Monday said that rift should not directly or indirectly strengthen the hands of the BJP or others.

Singhvi further said there is a much larger issue which is causing concern over other right thinking parties and hoped the rift in the party is not causative effective, indirectly or directly.

A national convention held on Sunday declaring Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav the new national president of the Samajwadi Party.
