New Delhi [India], July 19 (ANI): With Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav supporting NDA Vice-Presidential candidate Venkaiah Naidu, the Congress has downplayed the development saying the only decision that matter was that of Akhilesh Yadav.

Speaking to ANI, Chief Spokesperson of Uttar Pradesh Congress Surendra Rajput said that SP's authority is with Akhilesh Yadav and they will only consider his version.
