Ahead of the opposition show of unity in Patna, BSP supremo Mayawati on June 22 termed the meeting organised by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as more about joining of hands than hearts.
Ms. Mayawati has not been invited for the Opposition meeting on Friday, with JD(U) chief spokesperson K C Tyagi saying "We have invited those parties that are willing to fight against the BJP in 2024".
"BSP says it will not become part of alliance, then why should we waste our invitation," he told PTI.
Targeting the parties which are slated to participate in the meeting, Mayawati said it does not seem from their attitude that they are serious about their objective in Uttar Pradesh.
"Eighty Lok Sabha seats in UP are said to be the key to electoral success, but it does not seem from the attitude of the opposition parties that they are serious and truly concerned about their objective here. Without the right priorities, will the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections here really bring about the necessary change?" she said.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said, "It is clear from the condition of Bahujans in the country that parties like the BJP and Congress are not capable of implementing the humanistic egalitarian constitution framed by BR Ambedkar".
In such a scenario, the Patna meeting of Opposition leaders by Nitish Kumar on June 23 is more about joining of hands than hearts.
