"We will join hands with the party which can contest elections on public issues. I want all the big parties in UP to form a big alliance together." He, however, said, "if all the party presidents aspire to become the chief minister, then the alliance will be in trouble."

Ready To Be In Alliance With Mayawati
On being in alliance with Mayawati's party - BSP - Chandrashekhar said" "I have ideological differences with Mayawati. I do not have personal animosity with her. If she agrees to be on a common program with me, then I am ready for an alliance with BSP. Joining us will strengthen BSP, and then the BJP workers will not be able to pressurize them."
