“The path for alliance is still open, it is not closed,” he said in Saifai where he reached this morning with his Samajik Parivartan Yatra.

He said the Yatra had started from Mathura with the objective of ousting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from power. “This is the time of Dharm Yuddh (holy war) and our sole aim is to defeat the BJP,” he said.

Yadav said his party was hopeful of having an alliance with a big political party and the chances of a truck with the SP remained a possibility.
