Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday put the seal of approval on the break-up of the SP-BSP alliance when he said that his party will contest all 11 seats where Assembly by-elections are to be held in Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier in the day, BSP President Mayawati had announced at a press conference that her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) would contest the upcoming Assembly by-elections alone.

Mayawati said she was taking a break from her partnership with the SP.
