Mayawati has cleared the air over coalition
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati had announced to contest the elections alone in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand on Sunday morning. However, the scope for the alliance will remain intact in Punjab. The BSP supremo also denied reports that there could be an alliance between BSP and Asaduddin Owaisi’s party AIMIM in UP.
In the assembly elections held in Bihar last year, BSP and Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM contested together. Since then these discussions had started that in UP also AIMIM and BSP might come together.
Mayawati wrote on social media that news is being circulated in the media since yesterday that Owaisi’s party AIMIM and BSP will fight the upcoming assembly elections in UP together. This news is absolutely false, misleading and factless. Besides, she also informed about making Satish Chandra Mishra the National Coordinator of BSP Media Cell.
