Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) chief Shivpal Yadav on Sunday described the SP-BSP-RLD combine as an "alliance of crooks" and claimed that it would not be able to cross the double-digit mark in the Lok Sabha election.
Addressing a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district, Shivpal Yadav said: "(BSP chief) Mayawati, during her stint as the chief minister of UP, had got cases registered against 'netaji' (Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Yadav). She had unleashed atrocities on SP workers."
Pointing out that the Samajwadi Party was fighting on 35 Lok Sabha seats this time, Shivpal Yadav said: "But when the reins of party were in 'netaji's' hand, the SP used to fight on all 80 Lok Sabha seats."
