“We are yet to receive an official statement of the BSP chief. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav will give a statement on the development on continuing the alliance with BSP,” he said. A senior BSP leader, familiar with the developments, said Mayawati blamed Akhilesh for the poor performance of the alliance in the election. In such a scenario, continuing the alliance with SP will damage the prospects of the alliance partners,” Mayawati said. The committee will work to revive the social engineering formula that brought BSP to power in the 2007 assembly election, the BSP leader said.
