Samajwadi Party to get BSP's limited support

The BSP, on Sunday, announced that it would support SP candidates in the two Lok Sabha bypoll in Gorakhpur and Phulpur.

Lucknow: More than 23 years after they parted ways in the most acrimonious manner possible, the BSP and the SP will be seen on the same page in the upcoming Lok Sabha bypoll in UP.

The BSP, on Sunday, announced that it would support SP candidates in the two Lok Sabha bypoll in Gorakhpur and Phulpur.

However, BSP president Mayawati later said, “All rumours of a BSP-SP alliance are false and baseless. Since we have not put up our candidates in the bypoll, our party workers wanted a directive. So I have asked them to vote for a party that can defeat BJP and it is SP in this case. It is not an pact but a transfer of votes.”
