Lucknow: As Bahujan Samaj Party national president and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati celebrates her 68th birthday on Monday Jan 15, all eyes will be on the BSP Chief over a possible announcement on an alliance with the INDIA opposition bloc in Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
