LUCKNOW: A day after the Assembly poll results in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir were declared, the Samajwadi Party (SP) delivered a blow to Congress by announcing its candidates for six of the 10 seats in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh by-elections, set to take place later this year.

Despite being part of the Opposition INDIA alliance, which includes Congress, the SP's move has added strain to an already fragile relationship between the two parties.

The SP's announcement follows Congress's demand for five seats in the bypolls. However, Congress had not ceded any seats to the SP during the Haryana Assembly elections, which has fuelled growing tensions between the two key alliance partners.
