"Samajwadi Party will not join hands with any other party in the coming Vidhan Sabha elections, we will go alone and contest on the development works done by our government", Yadav told newspersons on the sidelines of a programme.

"Our government has done a lot of work, fulfilled the promises made in the election manifesto... why are the other parties not talking about development, they too should have concern for it," Yadav said.
