'BSP to go solo in LS polls': Mayawati dismisses rumours of alliance

Lucknow: BSP supremo Mayawati on Monday dismissed rumours of forming an alliance ahead of the Lok Sabha polls and asserted that her party will contest the elections on its own.

Mayawati, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has also asked workers of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to be beware of such rumours.

"Despite the BSP's repeated declarations that it will not forge an alliance with any party for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, rumours about an alliance are being spread every day. This proves that without the BSP, some parties are not going to fare well," she said in a post on X.

1. आगामी लोकसभा आमचुनाव बीएसपी द्वारा किसी भी पार्टी से गठबंधन नहीं करने की बार-बार स्पष्ट घोषणा के बावजूद आएदिन गठबंधन सम्बंधी अफवाह फैलाना यह साबित करता है कि बीएसपी के बिना कुछ पार्टियों की यहाँ सही से दाल गलने वाली नहीं है, जबकि बीएसपी को अपने लोगों का हित सर्वोपरि है।
