Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) does not stand a chance to come back into power in the Lok Sabha elections 2019 and will be whitewashed in politically important Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
His comments came after a meeting with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati at her residence in Lucknow.
"There is atmosphere today where they want to scrap Baba Saheb's constitution and implement 'Nagpur laws'... People welcome the step taken by Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav. BJP will be whitewashed in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. They will not win even one seat in UP. The SP-BSP alliance will win all seats," ANI quoted Tejashwi as saying.
