Will SP and BSP Ally?

Speaking to BBC Hindi, incumbent Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav commented on the possibility of a post poll alliance with Bahujan Samaj Party.

I have always accorded respect to Bahaman Samaj Party’s leader [Mayawati], so it is natural for people to assume we may form an alliance if required. But it’s hard to say now. I believe the youth, women and farmers have voted for our [SP-Congress] alliance. Of course, nobody would want President’s rule in the state [if there’s a hung assembly] or that BJP runs UP with a remote control.
