Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, a man known for pulling off surprises, on Wednesday shocked many by saying that there is a big possibility of Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati coming together.

The seasoned politician opined that if Akhilesh and Mayawati stitch an alliance, then it would be game over for BJP in the 2019 General Elections.

Yadav while addressing a gathering here said that BJP is well aware of the power of opposition the political parties.

"Everybody is feeling, and is working according to their policies, Then may it be Mayawati ji, Akhilesh ji, Robert Vadra ji, Priyanka Gandhi ji, Mamata didi or Kejriwal, Lalu Yadav or his family, the BJP wants to break us, because it knows our power very well. And is also aware of the fact that if all opposition parties unite, then its dream of again forming government in 2019 will remain a dream," said Yadav.

Lalu has been long pitching for a grand alliance at the national level to defeat Modi-powered BJP in the next Lok Sabha polls.

In the recent times, the RJD president has numerous times appealed to the non-BJP parties to "sink their differences" and come together like the Grand Alliance in Bihar to defeat the saffron party in the next Lok Sabha polls.
