New Delhi, Sept 12: BJP today blamed BSP leader Mayawati for the downfall of the BSP-BJP coalition in Uttar Pradesh but said it has no regrets on the "experiment" and that it would open a "new chapter" in the state. "We will open a new chapter in Uttar Pradesh where we made an experiment and failed because of the other side (BSP) and we have no regrets. We have now drawn up a plan to strengthen the party in the state and for this we are having a meeting in Lucknow on October six," Party President M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here. He said even though UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav might have managed a majority in the assembly but the government is very "fragile" and the "situation in the state is not good for Samajwadi Party." He said the party has drawn up an action plan for the four crucial assembly elections slated for later this year and asked the state units to finalise the election manifesto by October 15.
"The Bangalore meeting discussed in detail the action plan for the assembly elections with the party going it alone in these states. We have asked the state units to finalise the election manifesto by October 15," he said. Naidu said a rally in Bangalore comprising the youth who have recently been enrolled as voters was a success and the party proposes to hold similar rallies countrywide to mobilise the youth.
