BSP will support Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan to keep BJP out of power: Mayawati

Assembly Election Results: During the press conference, BSP's Mayawati said "We don't agree with the ideology of the Congress. But we will support it to keep the BJP out of power. Results show that people in states like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh were totally against the BJP."

New Delhi: BSP chief Mayawati on Wednesday announced that her party will extend support to the Congress to form the government in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan which will help to keep BJP out of power. As the results came in from the five states, Mayawati said: "results show that people in states like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh were totally against the BJP." During the press conference, Mayawati said "We don't agree with the ideology of the Congress. But we will support it to keep the BJP out of power." The Congress, which was locked in a tantalising see-saw battle with the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, has emerged as the single-largest party with 114 seats after the vote count ended. The party is, however, two short of the simple majority mark, 116 seats, in the 230-member Assembly. The BJP was close behind with 109 seats. The Bahujan Samaj Party won two seats and the Samajwadi Party one. Independents bagged four seats, Madhya Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer V L Kantha Rao told media. In Rajasthan, the Congress emerged as the single-largest party, winning 99 seats, while the BJP got 73. Here, the Bahujan Samaj Party won 6 seats. In the state, the focus is also on who would be the Congress choice for chief minister between two-time CM Ashok Gehlot and the party's state unit president Sachin Pilot.
