Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 13 (ANI): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Friday questioned the credibility of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s recent explanation about the alliance break-up in 2019 and challenged his explanation about the differences between their parties.
Mayawati was reacting to Yadav’s comments, in which he accused her of making allegations to cover up her failures.
Reportedly, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said Mayawati was making allegations to hide her shortcomings.
This came after Mayawati revealed in a booklet that the alliance broke down because Yadav had stopped taking calls from BSP leaders following the poor performance of their joint campaign.
Mayawati made the revelation in a booklet where she stated that she broke the alliance to protect the party’s honour.
SP and BSP fought the 2019 Lok Sabha elections together and secured only 15 seats, with Mayawati winning 10 seats and Akhilesh securing five seats in Uttar Pradesh.
“In UP, to stop BJP, Akhilesh Yadav, forgetting all the past mistakes of his party, talked of giving them another chance to form an alliance. But in the result of this election, BSP got 10 seats and SP got 5 because of this maintaining the alliance was a far-away thing but Akhilesh Yadav stopped taking up calls from BSP chief and Senior party leaders. Because of this, to preserve the honour of the party, we have to break the alliance with SP.” Mayawati stated in the booklet.
Mayawati further stated that in the recent 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, the alliance of SP and Congress have enjoyed success by ‘misleading’ the people of PDA (Pichhda, Dalit and Alpasankhyak).
“And this time, they have achieved a lot of success by allying with the Congress in the general elections of the Lok Sabha and misleading the people of PDA in the guise of saving the Constitution and reservation. But the people of PDA are not going to gain anything from this. Therefore, now they must be careful of SP,” Mayawati said in the booklet.
BSP has released a booklet for party workers to familiarise them with the party’s ideology and strategy for the next Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The booklet mentions the reasons behind the important decisions taken by Mayawati. (ANI)
