Saifai: In their first show of strength in Uttar Pradesh, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Prasad and Ram Vilas Paswan on Thursday addressed a joint rally in Saifai, claiming that the next government at the Centre cannot be formed without them.
Addressing the public meeting in Saifai, also his home town, SP supremo Mulayam Singh said, "No government at the Centre is possible without the three parties."
RJD chief Lalu Prasad said "Three brothers have come together, not only to win Lok Sabha elections, but also to fight communalism...We will show our strength in the cow belt."
Thanking Mulayam Singh for SP's support to the UPA government during the trust vote in July, Prasad said "had the SP not been there, the government would not have survived."
Taking a dig at political rivals, the RJD chief said when the three parties came together, some people in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh "got scared" as they were not expecting the new alliance to come through. Attacking Congress, Prasad said "Congress wants to strengthen its organisation and not win elections in Bihar and UP."
Paswan, the Lok Janshakti Party supremo, claimed that he and Lalu "were standing like rocks" to support Mulayam Singh. "No one can separate us," he asserted.
