Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav told BBC Hindi today (9 March) that he would join hands with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati if the election results threw up a hung assembly.
In case no party wins a majority in Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh said, “We don’t want the BJP to run Uttar Pradesh with a remote control.”
Does this remark imply an admission of defeat from the Chief Minister? Or at least, a fear that things may not be as bright as he thought they would be?
The final answers, of course, are waiting for us on 11 March.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
