SP-BSP-RLD alliance strong enough to defeat BJP: Mayawati to Congress

A day after the Congress announced it will leave seven seats for the SP, BSP and RLD alliance in Uttar Pradesh, BSP supremo Mayawati on Monday said that the former was free to contest on all the 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state. Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Mayawati said, “Congress party is absolutely free to contest on all 80 seats independently in UP. Our alliance formed here (with SP) is strong enough to defeat BJP. Congress must not spread wrong impression by leaving seven seats vacant in UP for SP, BSP and RLD.”
