On Wednesday, August 30, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mayawati, stated that her party will not get into any alliance with the NDA or the I.N.D.I.A. Taking to X, the BSP Chief said, ‘The NDA and the INDIA alliance are mostly parties with policies that are anti-poor, casteist, communal, pro-business, and capitalist. The BSP is in constant conflict against their policies, so the question of forming an alliance with them and contesting elections doesn’t even arise.’

‘Appeal to the media- no fake news please.’, she further wrote.

She also said, ‘The BSP, like in 2007, will single-handedly contest the upcoming Lok Sabha and four State Assembly general elections by uniting crores of neglected/scattered society on the basis of mutual brotherhood rather than the jugaad/manipulation of the opponents.’ Expressing further, she wrote, ‘Generally, everyone here is eager for an alliance with the BSP, but if they don’t proceed in this manner, the Opposition accuses them of colluding with the BJP, much like the pot calling the kettle black. If they align with them, they’re called secular, and if they don’t align, they’re called BJP supporters.’
