Two top Opposition leaders from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which together represent more than 22 per cent (120) of the total 543 Lok Sabha seats, on Monday asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would be wiped out from these states.
Addressing a joint news conference in Lucknow, Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav said the BJP government at the Centre was on its way out due to the potency of the SP-Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) pre-poll alliance in UP and a similar tie-up of Opposition parties in Bihar and even Jharkhand.
