Mayawati also refuted media reports that plans are afoot to tie up with Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM in the state.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati took to Twitter this morning to inform that her party will go solo in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand state polls, to be held early next year. She also refuted media reports that plans are afoot to tie up with Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM in the state.
Mayawati highlighted that her party has only announced a political tie up with Shiromani Akali Dal for the Punjab polls, also to be held next year. Both parties led by Mayawati and Sukhbir Singh Badal have also finalised the seat-sharing agreement in the 117-member assembly: with SAD contesting on 97 seats and the BSP on 20.
“This news is being broadcast in a media news channel since yesterday that the AIMIM and BSP will fight the upcoming assembly elections in UP together. This news is completely false, misleading and baseless. There is not even an iota of truth in this and the BSP vehemently denies it,” Mayawati wrote in her tweet.
“In this regard, it is again clarified that except Punjab, the BSP will not contest the UP and Uttarakhand state polls early next year in alliance with any party; meaning it will go it alone,” she added.
