‘200 seats haq hai hamara’: Congress puts its UP poll ambitions on Lucknow walls

Posters demanding 200 Assembly seats have surfaced outside the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters in Lucknow. Congress aims to strengthen its position ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections by negotiating a larger seat share. The party has reportedly submitted a wishlist to its ally, Samajwadi Party, complicating seat-sharing discussions. State Congress leaders are using a grading model to evaluate constituencies based on organisational growth.
