Delhi, July 5
The Samajwadi Party (SP)
today formally announced its support for the Congress-led UPA
government, marking the beginning of the disintegration of the
fledgling United National Progressive Alliance (UNPA). The SP,
which has of late been giving clear signal about its new-found
love for the Congress, asserted that it was ready to make any
“sacrifice” to keep communal parties out of power.
