Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Wednesday came out all guns blazing at veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh alleging that leaders like him “do not wish for a Congress-BSP alliance.

“Congress leaders like Digvijaya Singh do not wish for a Congress-BSP alliance. They are afraid of agencies like ED, CBI,” news agency ANI quoted Mayawati as saying.

Digvijaya Singh who is also a BJP agent is giving statements that Mayawati ji has a lot of pressure from Centre so she doesn’t want this alliance. This is baseless,” BSP chief clarified.

 

“I feel that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi's intentions for Congress-BSP alliance are honest. However, some Congress leaders are sabotaging this” the news agency further quoted Mayawati as saying.

“They (Congress) are getting arrogant and are under misconception that they can defeat BJP on their own, but the ground reality is that people haven't forgiven Congress party for their mistakes and corruption...They don't seem to be ready to rectify themselves,” she said.

Giving a big jolt to the grand old party, she said that the BSP will fight Assembly elections in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh on its own.

It is pertinent to mention here that before the Lok Sabha elections 2019, Congress party is trying to form a grand alliance. However, if BSP decides to remain out, this could affect the performance of the alliance.
