At present, the Samajwadi Party's main ally is the Rashtriya Lok Dal, a small party which is supporting its government in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress is also providing vital support to that government, and likewise, the Samajwadi Party is providing outside support to the minority Manmohan Singh government at the Centre. Despite this, there is deep-seated public enmity between the two parties. This was evident during the March 2006 political fall-out which followed the expulsion of Samajwadi Party parliamentarian Jaya Bachchan on grounds of holding an "office of profit." SP leaders blamed the move on the Congress high-command, and tensions have increased since then, although neither has revoked its support.

The S.P. has been also known to be friendly with the BJP, mostly because their primary enemy is common: Mayawati, leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, who has emerged as a major political force in the state. The installation of Mulayam Singh Yadav's government in 2003 was widely-perceived to be the result of such a friendly agreement. Given their drastically different vote-bank's, they never publicly align.

In the recently conducted 2007 Uttar Pradesh legislative elections, the S.P won only 96 seats as opposed to 146 in the previous elections. As a result, Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav had to resign, with his bete noir Mayawati, leader of the Bahujan Samaj party(which won a majority of 207 seats) being sworn in as the Chief Minister.

Samajwadiwadi Party is spreading its roots to the south too. S.Bangarappa (Former Chief Minister of Karnataka) has taken up the leadership in the south with the support of Jagdeesh Yadav in Andhra Pradesh and P.M.Harris a known left - socialist leader of Kerala.
