Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday claimed that the BJP and the Samajwadi Party are contesting the upcoming bypolls in Uttar Pradesh with “mutual understanding” and their “alliance” has lost sleep since the BSP entered the fray on all seats.

The former UP chief minister also hit out at the two parties for their ongoing war of slogans – BJP’s ‘Batenge toh Katenge’ and SP’s ‘Judenge toh Jeetenge’ – and said these are designed to divert the people’s attention from the “real issues.”

“Ever since bypolls were announced and BSP decided to contest the bypolls solo on all nine seats, the BJP-BSP ‘alliance’ have lost their sleep. Except for a couple of bypolls, BSP has not contested byelections here,” Mayawati said here.

“They have so far been contesting elections with a mutual understanding, but now with the BSP contesting the bypolls, the troubles of their ‘alliance’ have increased,” she alleged.

“To divert public attention, now the BJP has invoked ‘Batenge toh Katenge’ slogan while SP says ‘Judenge toh Jeetenge’ and are busy popularising them,” Mayawati added.
