Alliance with Congress ‘not at any cost,’ says Mayawati

New Delhi, Oct 3: Launching an all out attack, BSP supremo Mayawati said that her party would not ally with the Congress at any cost.

There is no question of the BSP allying with the Rahul Gandhi led Congress at any cost in the state elections at Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, she also said.

In MP and Rajasthan, we will ally either with the regional parties or fight it alone, she further said. We will not fight the elections with the Congress, she added.

She also said that the intention of the Congress is not to defeat the BJP, but to cause harm to friendly partners. The Congress is trying to defeat their partners instead of the BJP, Mayawati also told a press conference.
