In a strong rebuttal to swirling rumors, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati made it clear she does not engage in secretive meetings, implicitly countering claims about Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan considering a shift to BSP.
The speculation emerged after Khan's discontent with his party's leadership during his incarceration. Despite social media buzz suggesting his possible party switch, Khan has dismissed these rumors by welcoming SP chief Akhilesh Yadav at his home in Rampur.
During her Thursday rally in Lucknow, Mayawati emphasized transparency in her dealings, addressing the rumors without directly naming Khan, who in turn reaffirmed his commitment to the SP, thereby quelling the speculation.
