BSP should consider joining forces with Opposition, says U.P. Congress president

Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai on January 10 said that for fulfilling the larger goal of defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) should consider joining hands with the Opposition for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The statement holds significance, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) reportedly asking its leaders to refrain from attacking BSP president Mayawati, hinting towards a truce.

“Political forces need to unite against the BJP. Poor and marginalised communities are suffering under the present dispensation. We believe that Mayawatiji should also consider joining hands with us,” Mr. Rai told The Hindu.
