BSP will not participate in RJD’s Patna rally says Mayawati

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Thursday asserted that her party will not participate in Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD’s) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bhagao Rally in Patna which is to be held on August 27.

Explaining her decision to skip the rally, Mayawati said, “RJD has been told that BSP will share stage with a party only if it’s decided in advance which party will contest on how many seats. And BSP will not participate in Patna rally”.

However, on Aug 16th, RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav opened up saying that BSP leader Satish Mishra will attend the rally.
