PTI, AZAMGARH: Rubbishing the BJP’s claim that it was doing good in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, leaders of the opposition BSP-SP-RLD alliance in Uttar Pradesh said on Wednesday that on the contrary, its prospects were improving day by day.
“Our (electoral) prospects are improving… the prospects of the opposition alliance will further improve in the remaining two phases of the Lok Sabha polls,” BSP chief Mayawati said at joint rally with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav here.
RLD chief Ajit Singh also addressed the rally at the Azamgarh Muslim Education and Welfare Trust ground. The BSP supremo said ever since the ‘mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) was formed, “BJP leaders have lost their sleep.” Mayawati appealed to the voters to ensure a historic win for Yadav, who is the joint opposition candidate from the seat held by the Samajwadi Party in the outgoing Lok Sabha. After SP patron Mulayam Singh Yadav’s appeal to voters to back his son, Mayawati said, “You all should ensure victory of Akhilesh in such a way that the BJP candidate (Dinesh Lal
Yadav Nirahua) does not muster courage to contest again.”
Hitting out at the BJP, the BSP chief said, “We are not ‘mahamilawati’, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is ‘mahamilawati’ (highly adulterated).”
