However, the SP chief did not say that he would campaign and rally against the BJP to support Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. Yadav claimed that he was in touch with the TMC president and other senior TMC leaders to come up with a joint strategy to take on the BJP.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had a coup against her own father Mulayam Singh Yadav on January 2, 2017, when she took the affairs of the party into her own hands.
