Shortly after BSP chief Mayawati announced her decision to contest the bypolls alone, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav too said that he too will contest alone. "If the coalition has broken, I will reflect deeply on it and if the coalition isn't there in the byelections, then Samajwadi Party will prepare for the elections. SP will also fight on all 11 seats alone," he said.
