Though Mayawati has always been critical of Chandrashekhar -- even calling him the B team of the BJP, this is the first time the Bhim Army Chief has mounted an attack on the BSP President.
BSP supremo and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister has announced that her party will fight all major elections on its own, ostensibly ruling out any future alliance with Samajwadi Party
After the general elections, Mayawati had announced her decision that the BSP will contest the upcoming by-elections in Uttar Pradesh alone, ditching her alliance partner Akhilesh Yadav
Keshav Prasad Maurya's claim was similar to what Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said in September 2018 as the BJP president while addressing the party leaders in the national executive meeting in New Delhi.
'I studied engineering in Mysore. As a science student, I know that all experiments do not always succeed. But still we give it a trial and learn what is lacking,' said Akhilesh while talking to reporters in Lucknow.
In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the SP-BSP alliance could only manage to get 15 seats in Uttar Pradesh while the BJP walked away with 62 seats, while its ally Apna Dal won 2.
After drawing a blank in the 2014 general election, the Bahujan Samaj Party this time round won a decent 10 of the 38 seats that it contested as part of the alliance in Uttar Pradesh.
Samajwadi Party (SP) president, Akhilesh Yadav alleged that 'red cards' were being issued only to SP and BSP leaders and workers, and accused the BJP of conspiring to scare people against voting.
