BSP supremo Mayawati and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday said that their alliance will "shake the very roots" of the BJP and dislodge the "chowkidar of capitalists" from the prime minister's chair.

Addressing election rallies in favour of Mahagathbandhan candidates in Machchlishahr and Jaunpur seats, they also targeted the Congress, alleging that it is "anti-dalit" like the BJP and wants the people to remain poor.

"BJP's guru and chela are all set to be out of power at the Centre," Mayawati said at a rally in Bhadohi, attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.

"This alliance is so strong that in the 2022 Assembly elections in UP, it will send Yogi baba back in his mutt," Mayawati said, referring to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The BSP supremo alleged that the BJP tried to break their alliance, but she "exposed" it in the media and gave a "befitting reply" to the saffron party.

"The BJP is going out of power in these elections... it has failed to fulfil the promises made to the poor and the middle classes in 2014 elections ...despite all this the Prime Minister is seeking votes again," she said in Jaunpur.

Mayawati said, "Terror attacks are taking place and the government is busy in taking mileage of the army's valour."
Referring to the Congress' Nyaya scheme, she said the party which is claiming to provideRs. 6,000 every month to poor families "only wants people to remain poor and helpless.... There is a need to remain vigilant from them."
He said the alliance "will uproot the BJP which is standing on the foundation of lies and hatred. There is a wind of change which is blowing... how can theprime minister, who got scared of a jawan in Varanasi, face terrorism and naxalism."
