BSP Punjab co-ordinator Satish Bharti and its state President Parkash Singh Jandali declared that Central government won't last till 2014.

They told reporters that the BSP will have "social" alliance in Punjab and will capture power in state on its own strength.

When asked if the party will have any electoral truck with any like-minded political party, both Bharti and Jandali declared that the BSP supremo had already made it clear that the party will go it alone.

"However, we will have social alliance with various poor and deprived strata of society, who constitute 85 per cent of the population, for ushering in a social engineering to form our own government and show the doors to the government of 15 per cent feudal and capitalists represented by big landlords and business houses," they asserted.

Earlier, addressing a protest rally against alleged discrimination in delimitation of local municipal Corporation, Bharti and Jandali strongly condemned current "chaotic conditions" prevailing during SAD-BJP regime in Punjab.
