‘Will reflect deeply,’ Akhilesh Yadav on SP-BSP alliance separation; to fight on all 11 seats alone

Within an hour after Bahujan Samaj Party chief announced 'not permanent' break of SP-BSP alliance, Akhilesh Yadav said 'he will reflect on it deeply.' Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also said that if collision is not in existence, then his party will contest solo on all 11 seats in Bypolls.

"If the coalition has broken, I will reflect deeply on it & if the coalition isn't there in the by-elections, then Samajwadi Party will prepare for the elections. SP will also fight on all 11 seats alone," Akhilesh Yadav said.

Mayawati on Monday made an official announcement of SP-BSP alliance separation. Mayawati's announcement comes days after Lok Sabha elections results, in which 'Mahagathbandhan' failed to bag seats.

"We can't ignore political realities," the former UP Chief Minister said. Addressing a presser, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati called it 'not permanent break-up'. BSP chief said, "It's not a permanent break. If we feel in future that SP Chief succeeds in his political work, we'll again work together.

Days before Lok Sabha elections, Mayawati and Akhilesh joined hands and announced SP-BSP alliance in Uttar Pradesh, keeping Congress aside. However, it was remarkable failure of Mahagathbandhan in Uttar Pradesh as it managed to bag only 15 seats---11 BSP, 4 SP. While Congress rolled down on 1 seat. BJP had clean sweep victory in UP and national polls.
