BSP to go solo in UP, Uttarkhand polls-Mayawati

The Bahujan Samaj Party will go solo in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand state polls, to be held early next year, party chief Mayawati tweeted on Sunday morning, refuting media reports that plans are afoot to tie up with Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM in the state. She also said that except Punjab, the BSP will not contest the UP and Uttarakhand state polls early next year in alliance with any party; meaning it will go it alone.

Mayawati’s clarification comes amid reports of BSP, the Suheldeo Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) led by former UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar and AIMIM coming together under the umbrella of Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha to contest the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections scheduled next year. Mayawati also informed that in a bid to "fight such misleading news about BSP", the party has made its National General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Satish Chandra Mishra the new National Coordinator of BSP.

4. साथ ही, मीडिया से भी यह अपील है कि वे बहुजन समाज पार्टी व पार्टी की राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष आदि के सम्बन्ध में इस किस्म की भ्रमित करने वाली अन्य कोई भी गलत खबर लिखने, दिखाने व छापने से पहले श्री एस.सी. मिश्र से उस सम्बंध में सही जानकारी जरूर प्राप्त कर लें। 4/4
