Even as suspense continues over alliance between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, the SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has said his party would not field candidates against UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

Mulayam, who was on a whirlwind tour of his village Saifai yesterday, expressed hope of reaching a consensus with the Congress over seat sharing and said the party will not contest from Rae Bareli and Amethi constituencies represented by Sonia and Rahul respectively.
