Taking a dig at opposition parties' bid to stitch up an alliance for the Lok Sabha polls, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said "opportunistic politics" and a tie-up of those "who support corruption" will push the country towards instability. He said everyone knows the motive behind the alliance and the character of people in alliance is also known to all.

On BSP chief Mayawati's statement on Sunday that the agreement of grand alliance will be held only if her party gets respectable share of seats, Adityanath said, "Opportunistic politics and alliance of those who support corruption will push the country towards instability. The aim to put hindrance in the country's development will never be successful." "It is necessary for wise people to learn lesson from the past," he said.
