Mayawati opens possibility of alliance with Congress

Date:

New Delhi: With political clouds hovering over the nation, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Tuesday opened the possibility of an alliance with the grand old Congress party, but, with a condition of a respectable seat share.

“The BSP will contest elections as a part of coalition government only if it gets a respectable number of seats,” Mayawati said.

Reportedly, the talk of the alliance with BSP has divided the Congress also. While the grand old party feels that an alliance with the BSP will help it in the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Congress state unit chief in Rajasthan Sachin Pilot said last month that there would be no alliance with the BSP for the state polls.

“The BSP will contest elections as a part of coalition government only if it gets a respectable number of seats,” Mayawati said in a press briefing here.

During the press briefing, Mayawati also cornered the Centre and said over Alwar lynching incident and said that it is a “deed of narrow-minded”.
“Mob lynching is a deed of narrow-minded BJP members and supporters, but they consider it patriotism. I condemn the Alwar lynching incident but think that BJP would not be able to take appropriate action in the case. Therefore, I request Court to intervene,” she said.

Highlighting the rise in lynching incidents in the country, she said the BJP government will always be remembered for taking immature decisions.

“The BJP government will be remembered for taking immature decisions that have led to an increase in incidents of mob lynching of innocent people, giving freedom to commit murders, damaging the democracy in the nation and endangering peoples’ lives,” Mayawati said.

Well, time will tell the fate of the alliance. One thing is clear that the opposition needs to come together to take on the might of the BJP in the upcoming state and general elections.
