Lucknow, March 17
jin88bet.oneSupremely confident of its own performance in the Lok Sabha elections, the Bahujan Samak168app.babyaj Party (BSP) has snubbed the Mahan Dal that offered to support the BSP without any conditions.
Mahan Dal president Keshav Dev Maurya claimed that he has met senior BSP leaders, including Akash Anand and BSP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok ak168app.clubSidhartha, in Lucknow and is ready to field three candidates on BSP symbol if the party agrees to their support.
He also said that his party would campaign in support of BSP candidates not just in Uttar Pradesh, but also in other states likks168app.sitee Madhya Pradesh, having the vote share of Maurya, Shakya, Saini communities among others, if the arrangement worked.
ic88However, BSP state president Vishwanath Pal, on Sunday, refuted Maurya’s claims on support from Mahan Dal and said, “I am not aware of any such talks.”
A senior BSP functionary said that the party president had not even accepted Keshav Dev Maurya’s request for a meeting. “This clearly shows that the party is in no mood or any alliance,” he said.
Formed in 2008, the Mahan Dal claims an influence among voters from Maurya, Shakya, Kushwaha as welic88l as Saini communities, from parts in central and western Uttar Pradesh especially in the regions like Etah, Bareli, Agra, Firozabad, Moradabad, Sambhal, etc.
ic88According to sources, the Mahan Dal is eyeing three seats — Etah, Agra or Farrukhabad.
lr88Mahan Dal had contested 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the Congress, which had given them seats to contest on their symbol. The party failed to win any seat.
lr88However, the two parties did not come together after the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Asked about his frequently changing alliance partners, Maurya said that they were unable to develop a relationship with Congress.
“We could never develop a relationship with Congress after 2014. We hsi88ave a soft corner for Samajwadi Party, but it started giving importance to leaders like Swami Prasad Maurya and there were indications that SP does not need our support,” he said.
