The Bahujan Samaj Party on Thursday said it will not join the 27 August rally – Bhajpa Bhagao, Desh Bachao – in Patna, dealing a blow to Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's bid to stitch together a front of all opposition parties.
The history of such experiments has not been heartening, hence the party has decided not to be part of the rally called by Lalu Prasad at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, BSP chief Mayawati told reporters in Lucknow.
In the past too, the BSP has entered into alliances with some parties, but our experience has not been too good as after alliances, the other parties have backstabbed the BSP...It has been often noticed that after elections, alliances disintegrate.Mayawati, BSP chief
