Will support Congress in Madhya Pradesh to keep BJP out: Mayawati


Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Dec 12, 2018 : Mayawati today said her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) would support the Congress in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, to keep the BJP out of power. Her support will take the Congress past the finishing line in both states, where it missed a majority in elections, NDTV reported.

"Our aim is to keep the BJP out of power. And that is why we have decided to support the Congress in Madhya Pradesh," Mayawati said this morning. The BSP has won two seats in the 230-seat Madhya Pradesh assembly, in which the Congress has emerged the largest party but is two short of the majority mark of 116. The BJP is not far behind, with 109 seats.

"We have decided to support the Congress in Rajasthan as well. We fought these elections to ensure that the BJP does not come back to power," said Mayawati.

The Congress, which wrote to Governor Anandiben Patel late last night staking claim to power, is expected to meet her this morning. The party’s first call to Mayawati went yesterday, as soon as it became clear that the Congress’s climb to the top of the heap in Madhya Pradesh in yesterday’s vote count was slow and uncertain.

While announcing her support, Mayawati did not spare the Congress her criticism. She said the Congress ruled most of the states in India but regional parties emerged because it was not working for the welfare of the people. "If the Congress had performed well, there would not have been a BJP either," she said.
