Akhilesh hints at a tie-up with Mayawati, BSP declines

Lucknow, Mar 10 (IBNS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in an interview to BBC Hindi on Thursday said that he might go for a post poll tie-up with Mayawati led BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party), in case of a hung assembly in the state.

However, later in the day BSP declined such a possibility.

Akhilesh Yadav, who was confident about the victory of SP-Congress alliance in UP, stated that he might tie up with BSP to prevent BJP from controlling the state indirectly during President's rule.

"No one in UP would like to have a President's rule imposed on the state with BJP controlling it with a remote control," Akhilesh said.

Some poll surveys stated that Uttar Pradesh might get a hung assembly while few hinted at a clear majority for BJP.

BSP chief Mayawati in an interview to CNN News 18 ruled out any possibility of tie-up with SP (Samajwadi Party) as BSP is confident to form the government of its own.

The UP Chief Minister however said that he is still confident about the victory of SP-Congress alliance in UP election.

The result of UP election will come out on Mar 11.
