BJP ally Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ram Vilas Paswan took a jibe at the opposition on Tuesday after BSP supremo Mayawati announced that her party will not contest the Uttar Pradesh Assembly bypolls in a tie-up with the SP, saying its alliances in every state will crumble in the days ahead and "parties like the SP, the BSP and the RJD will have to shut their shops by 2020".
"If the coalition has broken, I will reflect deeply on it and if the coalition isn't there in the by-elections, then Samajwadi Party will prepare for the elections. SP will also fight on all 11 seats alone," Akhilesh said.
Mayawati cuts ties with SP for now, BSP to contest bypolls alone
"It's not a permanent break. If we feel in future that the SP chief [Akhilesh Yadav] succeeds in his political work, we'll again work together. But if he doesn't succeed, it'll be good for us to work separately. So we've decided to fight the by-polls," Mayawati, while addressing the media, said.
The Samajwadi Party will fight for social justice together with the Bahujan Samaj Party, said SP chief Akhilesh Yadav Monday, hours after BSP supremo Mayawati expressed dissatisfaction over the poll performance of the alliance between the two parties.
Mayawati's remarks have raised questions over the future of Samajwadi party and Bahujan Samaj Party's alliance.
It would have been better if we had fight election alone, says BSP chief after poll debacle. She said that alliance didn't proved to be right for us, even Akhilesh Yadav could not make her wife win from Kannauj.

Mayawati, who has always been at loggerheads with Samajwadi Party, this time had put everything on stake and had joined hands with her arch rival.
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav on Monday held a meeting with Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati to discuss the political situation in view of the exit polls results.
"The Gujarat model of PM Modi has been unsuccessful in removing the extreme poverty, unemployment and backwardness of the UP's Poorvanchal, which is a gross 'vadaakhilaafi' (non-fulfilment of promise)," Mayawati said.
Addressing a rally in Mirzapur, the BSP President said, "The BJP is worried in this last phase of elections because it knows that it is on its way out. They are trying to weaken our alliance by spreading canards but they will not succeed. This alliance signals a social change and will go a long way."
In yet another personal attack on the prime minister, BSP chief Mayawati Thursday said how can one expect Narendra Modi to respect women when he cannot do so for his wife.
As the heat of the Lok Sabha elections reaches its pinnacle, a BSP candidate has gone missing. An FIR registered in a Varanasi police station accuses him of sexual assault.
Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday said his legacy as the chief minister of Gujarat is a black spot and burden on the BJP as well as the communal history of the country.
The country now needs a pure Prime Minister who can run the country in accordance with welfare spirit of the Constitution...The public has already been fooled by people of dual character, and will not be fooled any more," Mayawati said at a press conference here.
The BSP chief said the BJP government is a sinking ship.
She said that holding roadshows and visiting temples have become a ‘fashion' during elections and a huge amount of money is spent on this.
The Bahujan Samaj Party-Samajwadi Party- Rashtriya Lok Dal forged an alliance in Uttar Pradesh in order to make a dent in the BJP’s vote share in the Lok Sabha election 2019.
