Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati seems to have warmed up to Akhilesh Yadav, her former foe and son of arch rival Mulayam Singh Yadav, if a BSP poster is to be believed.

A poster has been uploaded from an unverified Twitter account highlighting the unity of the Opposition in Uttar Pradesh.

Mayawati shares space with Opposition leaders in the poster, indicating a united alliance. Among the Opposition leaders is former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

The tweet, however, has since been deleted.

Doubts have been raised about the authenticity of the poster and the handle that posted it. Brushing aside the rumours, BSP leader Ram Achal Rajbhar said the poster was not tweeted from the official account of the party. Senior party leader Satish Mishra said the party does not have an official Twitter account, adding that the poster was not released by the BSP.

A united Opposition is key to a beleaguered BSP at a time when the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duo is taking the political landscape by storm. 

Other leaders featured in the poster are Mamata Banerjee, Sonia Gandhi, and Lalu Prasad Yadav.
