Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal and his wife, MP and former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal met Bahujan Samaj Party National President Mayawati over lunch at her residence to further strengthen the old alliance ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
The top leadership of the two parties had agreed for complete unity and coordination between the two parties and maintained that it should be continued in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, just like the general elections of the Punjab Assembly.
Speaking on the occasion, Mayawati said, “The BSP has full faith in SAD leadership. We will leave no stone unturned to get our votes transferred to our party so that the alliance is truly beneficial and maximum number of its candidates can give a good message of winning the election.”
Mayawati, during an interaction with the Akali leaders, pointed out that the reason for the ‘Lok Kalyan Diwas’ being observed by the party on January 15 on her birthday was that from now on, a conspiracy has started to create confusion in the public interest about the alliance in UP.
Attacking at ruling government in Punjab, she said that the people of Punjab are suffering again like the previous Congress government as the special election promises made to the people of the common people’s interest have not been fulfilled but it is not being implemented properly.
