Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), announced on Wednesday that her party will contest alone in both the state legislative assembly elections and the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
Mayawati declared that her party would neither join the 39-member NDA alliance or the 26-member INDIA alliance a day after the Congress and BJP announced their alliance.
She declared that she will keep an equal distance from both alliances and run independently in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
The 67-year-old leader stated during a press conference that the party is fully prepared for the Lok Sabha elections.
“We will fight the elections alone. We will contest the election on our own in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and in Haryana, Punjab, and other states we can contest elections with the regional parties of the state,” the BSP supremo said.
Taking dig at Congress, she said, “Congress party is forging an alliance with like-minded casteist and capitalist parties to come into power”, and add that the BJP is also strengthening NDA but”their policies are anti-Muslim and anti-Dalit”, Mayawati added.
Mayawati explained why she decided to contest the election alone. The BSP supremo said, “These parties don’t work for the welfare of the people. They have not done anything for Dalits, Muslims, and minorities. All are the same. When they come to power, they forget their promises. They have not fulfilled a single promise made to be the people. Be it Congress or be it BJP. This is the biggest reason why BSP has not joined hands with the opposition”.
Earlier this month, Mayawati held a key meeting with the party’s Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh units to discuss the BSP’s preparations and strategies for the 2024 general elections.
In May, she convened a meeting with BSP’s UP office bearers after suffering a defeat in Uttar Pradesh local body polls.
