NEW DELHI: BSP supremo Mayawati on Tuesday announced that her party will contest the upcoming assembly bypolls in the state alone . Mayawati also expressed hope that if in future the situation is conducive the alliance with SP can be rekindled.

The BSP chief who had buried the hatchet with Samajwadi Party to forge an alliance to defeat BJP for the Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday addressed the media to announcing her decision.

"It's not a permanent break. If we feel in future that SP Chief succeeds in his political work, we'll again work together. But if he doesn't succeed, it'll be good for us to work separately. So we've decided to fight the byelections alone," the BSP chief said.

Underlining the reason for Mahagathbandhan 's poor performance in the LS polls, the BSP supremo said that SP's base vote was unsuccessful in supporting their party even in SP-majority seats. Hence, a serious introspection is required and the party command needs to decide on the feasibility of the alliance.

"However, we can't ignore political compulsions. In the results of Lok Sabha elections in UP, base vote of Samajwadi Party, the 'Yadav' community, didn't support the party. Even strong contenders of SP were defeated," Mayawati added.

Earlier on Monday at a meeting of BSP's Uttar Pradesh unit in New Delhi, Mayawati asked her party leaders to not depend on the alliance to win votes but work to expand the organisation.

According to some of those present in the meeting, Mayawati referred to the family feud in the Yadav clan, saying the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP could not transfer the community votes to the BSP in the just-concluded Lok Sabha polls. She said the SP could not even save its "family seats" .

Following reports of BSP's decision to end the alliance, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav insisted that the alliance with BSP is intact and both the parties will continue their association to together fight for social justice .

"We and Bahujan Samaj Party will fight for social justice together," said Yadav, addressing a public meeting after the declaration of the Lok Sabha poll results.

The SP-BSP-RLD alliance was unsuccessful in thwarting the saffron surge in Uttar Pradesh after it managed to win only 18 of the 80 seats in the state during the Lok Sabha polls

Both the parties had entered into a pre-poll alliance for the Lok Sabha polls hoping that their combined vote share will help throttle the BJP's rise in the state.
