I will not form an alliance with anyone in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections ... Mayawati

Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati on Sunday said she would not ally with anyone in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

In this regard, he said in a series of Twitter posts:

"Since yesterday, a news channel has been broadcasting that 'Bahujan Samaj Party' will contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in alliance with Azaduddin 'Owaisi's All India Majlis Party', which is completely false and untrue. The Bahujan Samaj Party denies this.

The party wants to make it clear that the Bahujan Samaj is contesting the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand assembly elections exclusively in Punjab and will not form an alliance with anyone. "

Following the turmoil, party general secretary and state assembly member Satish Chandra Misra has been appointed media unit coordinator. Mayawati has asked Mishra to be consulted before releasing news on 'Bahujan Samaj'.

Elections will be held next month in five states, including Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
