  Alliance between SP-Congress unlikely: Sunday may be the final day of climax for alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress for upcoming Uttar Pradesh polls. Samajwadi party and Congress are unlikely form an alliance in UP as consensus on seat sharing can not be reached, said sources. Priyanka Gandhi had a word on alliance with Chief Minister of UP Akhilesh Yadav, said Ahmed Patel of the Congress party. "Wrong to suggest lightweights were dealing on behalf of the Congress. Discussion was at highest level-between CM(UP) and Priyanka Gandhi," said the Congressman, reported ANI, who is considered close to party president Sonia Gandhi. From past few months the suspense has been going on that whether both will enter into an alliance or not.
