"BJP and Congress are hand in gloves. They do not want a Third front government at the Centre," Yadav said at an election rally in Pratapgarh district.
The SP chief addressed a series of rallies in Pratapgarh and neighbouring Sultapur district.
Attacking BJP leader Narendra Modi, Yadav said that the Gujarat Chief Minister was a "liar" and was misleading the people by presenting 'Gujarat Model'.

"After we started exposing these data in public, Modi has started saying that some persons in his group have started spying for Mulayam Singh," he said.
