Lucknow : Bhaujan Samaj Party Leader Mayawati on Tuesday said that she will not go for any poll alliance for Uttar Pradesh assembly election slated to be held in 2022. She said that she won’t do ‘chunavi samjauta.’
“We’re entering into agreement with people of all sections of society to bring them together — this alliance is permanent. Don’t intend to enter into alliance with any party,” Mayawati said while addressing the press conference.
Slamming Congress she said, that if Congress would have kept their promises, they would not have lost power. She said, “Had Congress fulfilled even 50% of their poll promises they wouldn’t have been out of power at the Centre, UP & in most of the states of the nation.”
Ahead of the upcoming UP polls, the rival parties and the BJP have begun their “drama” to “lure” people of the state, Mayawati claimed. “The truth is that BJP govt’s, at the Centre & state, announcement of projects & inauguration of incomplete works in last 1.5-2 months will continue until polls,” Mayawati was further quoted as saying.
The BSP leader further linkened the Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party with the Bharatiya Janata Party, claiming both parties rely on ‘Hindu-Muslim’ politics to get votes. Mayawati exuded confidence in her party’s victory in the state with an absolute majority.
“We don’t see any difference between SP and BJP. They are two sides of the same coin. They just want to make the polls a Hindu-Muslim matter. We are confident that we will get an absolute majority, just like we got in 2007,” Mayawati said.
Elections for 403 assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh are due early next year.
In the 2017 assembly elections, the BJP won a landslide victory winning 312 assembly seats. The party secured a 39.67 per cent vote share in the elections for 403-member Assembly. Samajwadi Party (SP) bagged 47 seats, BSP won 19 while Congress could manage to win only seven seats.
