AAP's Sanjay Singh rejects Congress seat demand in UP

2026-10-27 · 1 source · Economic Times India

In short

AAP MP Sanjay Singh said Congress’s request for 150-200 seats in Uttar Pradesh is too high. He cited Congress’s past result there: two seats and 2.5% of the vote.

The comment could make alliance talks harder. It is still unknown what seat-sharing deal, if any, will be reached.

What the reporting says

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said Congress’s demand for 150-200 seats in Uttar Pradesh was unreasonable, according to a publisher summary. He pointed to Congress’s past performance in the state, where it won only two seats and 2.5% of the vote. The immediate effect could be tougher alliance talks, but the final seat-sharing outcome is not stated in the available reporting.

Why it matters

Sanjay Singh’s remarks push back against Congress’s reported demand for 150-200 seats in Uttar Pradesh and tie the argument to the party’s earlier showing in the state. The report frames the issue as an alliance negotiation problem rather than a final decision. It does not say how Congress responded or whether any talks changed after his comments.
