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.
