After Akhilesh Yadav announced that I.N.D.I.A bloc will contest Uttar Pradesh by-polls on Samajwadi Party's election symbol 'cycle', BJP spokesperson Ajay Alok said SP has ensured a "Congress-mukt" UP. "They talked about creating a BJP-free country, but SP has turned UP into a Congress-free zone," he added. "Congress needs to reflect on its standing within this coalition," Alok further stated.
