SP, BSP conniving for a hung Assembly in UP : Narendra Modi

Mau, Uttar Pradesh, Feb 27 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday alleged that the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party are conniving between themselves for a hung Assembly in Uttar Pradesh to gain a bargaining power as they are destined to lose the ongoing Assembly elections , media reports said.

"You (SP, BSP) might be thinking that in case of a hung House, you will get a chance to bargain but the people of UP have shown you in the Lok Sabha polls, by ensuring a full majority to BJP, and in these elections, they will ensure that BJP wins with a huge margin," he said while addressing an election rally at Mau.

"The SP and the BSP, after the third phase of polling, have realised that they have no chance of winning and so they have launched a new game, a new technique...Even if we are defeated or our seats decrease, no one should get majority," he said.

"I want to tell the leaders of the SP and the BSP to try whatever means they can to defeat the BJP, there is no problem with it...But do not play with the future of UP. It has suffered a lot in the past," Modi said.

"When the polls were announced and the SP got afraid that they will not win, in a hurry they went and sat in the lap of the Congress...Boarded a sinking ship," Modi said.

"But soon after the first two phases, those very people decided to stay away from campaigning and those who were claiming a two-thirds majority came with folded hands asking for another chance to correct their mistakes," he said.
