Three weeks after she called off the alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati has launched a tirade against SP President Akhilesh Yadav, saying that she had not received even one call or a visit from him after the poll loss, IANS reported.

"After the mahagathbandhan lost the elections, I received no call from Akhilesh. BSP general secretary Satish Mishra asked him to speak to me, but he just wouldn't listen. But because I am senior to him, I called him up instead and expressed sadness over his family members losing," Mayawati told party members at the meeting, an NDTV report said.

She further said that Akhilesh Yadav called BSP leader Satish Chandra Misra after the party announced its decision to go solo in the Assembly by-elections but did not speak with her.
