Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav has now backed Mamata Banerjee's statement for opposition unity at the national level, saying the party which is strong in a state should contest elections there.
The Samajwadi Party (SP), under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav, could not win even a single mayoral seat out of the 17 on Saturday and also failed to retain the Suar Assembly seat that it had held for years.
