Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati did not respond to a Congress offer for an alliance ahead of the recently concluded Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi revealed on Saturday.
Mr. Gandhi was delivering the keynote address at the launch of the book The Dalit Truth, edited by his close aide K. Raju.
Mr. Gandhi said he was able to speak freely because there was no corruption charge against him. The CBI, ED and other enforcement agencies were controlling the political class.
