Though the Congress and the Samajwadi Party were unable to have a pre-poll alliance, SP General Secretary Amar Singh today indicated that his party is not averse to have an alliance with the UPA-led government.

The pre-poll alliance in UP, will not be an issue after the poll results, as Congress will not be able to form the government without SP's support at the Centre, Singh told PTI at Harni airport on his arrival from Uttar Pradesh.

"As we are a secular party and Congress will need our support in its efforts to form the government at the Centre," Singh said.

Singh was here to make announcement that SP will put up seven candidates in Gujarat.

"My party position is weak in Gujarat as we have no base but we will contest seven seats in the state to improve our position here," Singh said.
