Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has said that he is ready team up with Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party but has placed conditions. Mulayam joked that if, Rashtriya Janata Dal honcho Lalu Prasad Yadav mediates, then he would join hands with Mayawati.

Lalu who has recently formed alliance with Nitish Kumar in BJP, has appealed to Mulayam and Mayawati to come together to defeat BJP in the country. In response to Lalu's proposal, Mulayam said, “If Lalu brings Mayawati, I will join hands with her.”

Mayawait has replied to Mulayam's comments quite seriously and said, “ The way Mulayam got his men to attack me, if it happened to women close to Lalu, would he have joined hands with him?” She also lashed out any form of alliance with Samajwadi party in future. “Mulayam Singh is hand-in-glove with communal forces. There is no question of an alliance with him,” added Mulayam.
