PSP leader Shivpal Singh Yadav talking to the media said, "SP alliance will win all nearby seats. BJP will try but won't be able to do anything. The last 5yrs only had problems, be it inflation, unemployment, corruption, or electricity... we'll win around 50/58 seats in the west, 45-50 seats in central UP."
Taking a dig over oppositions he said, "A CM (Yogi Adityanath) shouldn't say bulldozers will run, it's against dignity of the post. The results will turn BJP cold. This coalition will cross over 300 seats. BJP just talked about temple/mosque, Hindu/Muslim, development has not happened."
