Former Rajya Sabha MP and leader of Communist Party of India (Marxist) Sitaram Yechury on Friday said that the CPI (M) will support Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh and will work to mobilise secular forces against the Hindutva agenda.

"We will support Samajwadi Party in UP elections. We're only contesting from only four seats in UP. In Punjab, we will support the party that can defeat BJP," Yechury said in a press conference in Delhi.
