Lucknow: A war of words has broken out between Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and BSP chief Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh. Recently, Mayawati claimed that Akhilesh Yadav had stopped receiving her calls. Now former CM Akhilesh Yadav has reacted to these allegations of Mayawati. He has told the whole story of the break-up of the alliance between SP and BSP.

Nobody knew the alliance was broken.

While talking to the media at the Samajwadi Party headquarters in Lucknow, Akhilesh Yadav said that when the alliance between SP and BSP broke, no one knew about it. The leaders of both the parties were present on a public platform in Azamgarh. During this time, the news of the alliance breaking came in the media.

I myself called him and said that...

Akhilesh further said that he himself had called Mayawati. He wanted to know why Mayawati did this. It is known that in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, there was an alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party. In this election, SP won 5 and BSP won 10 Lok Sabha seats. However, after the election results, Mayawati broke this alliance. Later in a booklet, BSP chief Mayawati claimed that Akhilesh had stopped receiving her calls.
