Ahead of the counting day, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said due to the alertness of the INDIA bloc, voters, supporters, workers, officials, leaders, candidates, entire PDA community and some honest media persons, the BJP was on a backfoot in these bypolls.

"I was in Azamgarh when the alliance broke. There were BSP leaders on the stage, I asked them why they broke the alliance? But now she is making allegations to hide her shortcomings," he told the media.
