To counter the losses suffered during the Assembly elections, Mayawati said the party would woo the Muslim voters in the Capital. She also instructed her party workers to focus on all sections of the society and lay special emphasis on the youth.

The party had announced Muslim candidates for the Chandni Chowk, East Delhi and Northeast Delhi constituencies — Haji Mustaqeen, Dr Asif Khan and Haji Dilshad, respectively.

Mayawati also ruled out all possibilities of entering into an alliance with any party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the country and asked her party workers to start campaign work at full steam.

Pointing to the increased 14.5 per cent votes polled by the BSP in the Delhi elections, Mayawati asked the candidates to work in their respective constituencies and “gain enough support even before other parties begin their campaigns,” sources said.
