Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Monday reiterated her stand to fight the 2024 parliamentary polls alone but did not rule out a post-poll alliance.
“We suffer more losses from alliances. Most of the parties want to ally with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). But, the BSP will fight the elections alone. An alliance can be considered after the polls,” said Ms. Mayawati, addressing a press conference in Lucknow on her 68th birthday.
“With the support of people hailing from backward community, tribals, Dalits and Muslims, we (the BSP) formed a majority government in the state in 2007 assembly polls, and that’s why we have decided to contest the parliamentary elections alone. We will maintain a distance with those who are casteist and communal, and we will not join any alliance,” added the former four time U.P. CM.
