This refers to the report, “Maya blames UPA, other parties for zero in lS elections” (May 18). As per BSP supremo Mayawati, her support to the Congress-led UPA at the Centre is the main reason for her party's debacle in the just concluded lok Sabha election. But as quid pro quo, the BSP supremo had received near insulation from a CBI probe into her cases against her. So, her accusation is baseless. let's now come to her second remark about the BJP getting ‘just' 42 per cent of votes in Uttar Pradesh, and 58 per cent of votes going against it. Did Ms Mayawati ever get 40 per cent votes in the State Assembly election in any of her four tenures as Chief MinisterIJ
She had stated prior to the declaration of the election result that her party would never, under any circumstance, support “communal forces” (BJP-led NDA). Whom will Ms Mayawati supportIJ She is in a dilemma of her own making.
