"They (SP) have taken a right decision," NCP General Secretary Tariq Anwar said here.
Anwar, who is Lok Sabha member from Katihar, said that with Mulayam Singh Yadav walking out of the alliance "the efforts to bring back splinter parties into Janata Parivar have virtually come to an end."
After NCP walked out of the alliance, their 3 seats were given to SP along with two others from RJD quota totalling five. But, they rejected this.
"Sometimes we are blamed for weakening secular alliance by walking out but its not true. We are forced to do this due to monopolistic approach of JD(U), RJD and Congress," he said.

The NCP leader said his party would love to enter into a tie-up with the SP after today's development.
"Earlier I had talks with SP Bihar chief and he had expressed agreement to be together. But, after today's development I do not know what will be their approach, but we'll welcome if they come with us," he said.
The NCP General Secretary, however, dismissed any chance of tie-up either with Janadhikar Party of Madhepura MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav and All India Majlis-e Ittihad al-Muslimin of Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi as his party did not agree with their ideology.
He said NCP was waiting for reply of Left and others "but if they do not come we'll fight alone in Bihar."
