Akhilesh Yadav announced that the Samajwadi Party has ended its association with Indian Political Action Committee, citing financial constraints and clarifying that the decision is not linked to recent election results. He said the partnership was short-term and focused on preparations for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Yadav also took a satirical dig at political consultancy firms, referencing surveys, social media teams, and campaign agencies often used in modern politics. In a lighter moment, he mentioned guidance from an astrologer, joking about following advice in a humorous way. He reaffirmed confidence that the Samajwadi Party aims to form the government in Uttar Pradesh in 2027.
