The Samajwadi Party (SP) yesterday sought the cooperation of the Congress party to install a popular government in Uttar Pradesh.

Congress support would help SP to instal a secular government and keep the communal forces at bay, state party president Ram Saran Das told reporters here.

At this stage I can only welcome the statement made by Sharad Pawar, Congress leader in Lok Sabha, who has already echoed these views, Das said.
