Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) are forming an alliance because they fear losing out to BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, said Union Minister of Road, Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Saturday.

"Recall the time when Mayawati's government was there in Uttar Pradesh and what Mulayam Singh's people did in the Vidhan Sabha. Today, only because of our fear and because of the work we have done, those who are very well assured of their defeat are making an alliance against us. We are strong enough. Those who want to come together can do so, but remember we will throw you all on the ground," Gadkari said at the concluding day of BJP's National Council meeting here.
