Mayawati’s claim that she is ready to align with Bharatiya Janata Party to defeat Samajwadi Party has failed to enthuse the BJP leadership of Uttar Pradesh as they opined that the BSP chief should first set her house in order rather than start scouting for allies.
“The BSP is shrinking by every passing day. How can she help BJP in defeating the Samajwadi Party. Mayawati has a habit of issuing statements. It is her own view and the BJP has nothing to do with it. Earlier she had aligned with the SP, saying she has joined hands to defeat the BJP and now she is saying she will join hands with BJP to defeat SP. Her statements lack seriousness,” said a senior BJP leader.
“The BSP had 19 MLAs and Mayawati has suspended seven today. How can she help the BJP with its depleting strength,” he asked.
