The SP had earlier demanded 10–12 seats under the alliance from the Congress. On this issue, the SP’s chief general secretary, Prof Ram Gopal Yadav and the Congress’s MP general secretary in charge, Randeep Surjewala, had several rounds of talks to take a decision on the seats.
In the last Madhya Pradesh assembly election, which was held in 2018, the SP had won the Bijawar seat, while the party’s candidates finished second on six seats. Its main fight was with BJP on the second position seats. However, in the 2003 assembly election, the SP had won 7 seats.
