According to sources, the TD chief, Mr N.Chandrababu Naidu, the UNPA convenor, has formally invited Ms Mayawati to the UNPA. He has already said that Ms Mayawati should be Prime Minister.
In the event the government loses the trust vote on July 22, the leaders will decide on July 23 whether to stake claim to form an alternative government or to go for polls. In case the government survives the vote, the leaders will meet to decide on the future course of action.
“The government has no numbers. It has lost its majority. I am warning the government against trying to mobilise invisible and indirect numbers,” Mr Naidu said.
Mr Naidu said that the UNPA, BSP and the Left had come together on a one-point agenda to dislodge the Congress-led UPA government.
Mr Naidu and Ms Mayawati had a separate meeting when the UNPA and Left leaders met at the residence of TD leader Mr K. Yerrannaidu in Delhi on Sunday.
