Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav will attend RJD's "BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao" rally in Patna on Sunday, but participation of BSP supremo Mayawati appears uncertain as on today.

"Party president Akhilesh will be visting Patna on August 27 and attend the rally organised by Lalu Prasad," SP spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury said.

The rally is seen as an attempt to forge a larger alliance of like-minded parties to counter the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Both SP and Bahujan Samaj Party have been invited by RJD chief Lalu Prasad for the rally.

But Mayawati's participation appeared uncertain as she distanced herself from posters showing her with non-BJP leaders.
