BSP to support Congress in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan

In an effort to strengthen Opposition unity, Bahujan Samaj Party Chief has decided to support the Congress in Madhya Pradesh to keep the BJP out of the power.

“Even though we don't agree with many of Congress's policies, we have agreed to support them in Madhya Pradesh and if need be in Rajasthan,” said Mayawati

“Results show that people in states like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh were totally against the BJP and its anti-people policies and as a result chose Congress due to lack of other major alternatives,” said Mayawati.

Earlier in the day, according to Election Commission Congress in Madhya Pradesh had bagged the majority by winning 114 seats and the BJP could only get 109. Four seats have been won by independent candidates. The SP won 1 seat, the BSP has won 2 seats.
