BSP to go solo in LS polls, Mayawati not retiring from politics
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said that options were open for post-poll alliances.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Monday (January 15) said her party would fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections alone, without joining any alliance. She also made it clear that she was not retiring from politics.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said that options were open for post-poll alliances.
Talking to reporters in Lucknow at the state party office on her birthday, she categorically denied reports in a section of the media about her retirement from politics.
She said the party would not forge any tie-up for the Lok Sabha elections, due in April-May, and would go it alone.
The party would consider aligning with any party after assessing the post-poll situation, she said.
The BSP had contested the last Lok Sabha elections in 2019 in alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
