SP-BSP-RLD alliance's prospects to improve in next 2 phases of LS polls: Mayawati

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."
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)."
Dubbing the Congress and the BJP two sides of the same coin, she said, "Dono kaa chaal charan ek hai (both have same nature and character)."
Commenting on formation of a new party by Akhilesh Yadav's uncle Shivpal Yadav, Mayawati said, "Now the BJP has committed dacoity at Akhilesh's house and got his uncle
form a new party. Wherever are there BJP candidates, Shivpal's nominees are fielded to cut into the SP's vote share."
