Sir — This refers to Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav’s comment that his party is open to tie-ups before the 2019 lok Sabha poll. If the Samajwadi Party can build a strong coalition, it will stand a good chance of unseating the NDA at the Centre. The latter is getting a bad name because of its inability to live up to the people’s expectations on many fronts such as inclusive development. Mr Yadav’s dream of seeing his father as the Prime Minister can come true.
