Mayawati Terms NDA, ‘INDIA’ Alliance Anti-Dalit, BSP to Fight Alone in 2024

New Delhi: BSP chief Mayawati on Wednesday announced that her party will fight it all alone in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as well as in Assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.

She hit at the NDA as well as the newly formed ‘INDIA’ coalition, alleging that neither of them was favourable to the Dalits and the oppressed classes.

In a statement here, Mayawati said the BSP was open to tie-ups with regional parties in Punjab and Haryana, provided they have links with the ruling NDA alliance or the newly formed ‘INDIA’ coalition.

Mayawati was critical of the Congress. “Had the Congress kept aside its casteist and capitalist mindset, worked towards the welfare of the poor and the oppressed and listened to BR Ambedkar, the need to form the BSP would not have arisen,” Mayawati said.
