No alliance with Congress in any state: Mayawati

In a blow to the prospects of an opposition grand alliance to take on the ruling BJP in the Lok Sabha polls, BSP chief Mayawati Tuesday said her party will not have an election tie-up with the Congress in any state.
Mayawati's statement drew a sharp retort from the Congress, with its Uttar Pradesh unit spokesperson saying, we don't need her.
In a statement, Mayawati said, "It is being made clear again that the Bahujan Samaj Party will not have any electoral alliance with the Congress in any state."
