LUCKNOW, NOV 1: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) today made it clear that it would not go in for "any sorts of alliance" with other political parties in the coming assembly polls."Our party will contest those seats only where our candidates were certain to win. But we are certainly not entering into any sorts of alliance," BSP national vice-president Mayawati told reporters here.
Stating that the results of the three Assembly elections would have far reaching consequences on the future of the BJP led-coalition government at the centre, she said "we will evaluate the post-poll scenario and chalk out the strategy accordingly". On reports that there was "some understanding" between her party and congress in some states, the BSP leader blamed the media for "misleading" people.
