Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Saturday said that her party is contesting the upcoming alone and claimed the alliance rumours are all fake.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), said, BSP is fighting the Lok Sabha general elections in the country on its own strength with complete preparation and strength. In such a situation, spreading rumors about forming electoral alliance or third front etc. is gross fake and wrong news. Media should not lose its credibility by giving such mischievous news. People should also be careful.

The comment comes days after for the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Rao, also known as KCR, said the details of seat-sharing would be announced later.

He said there is an ideological similarity between the two parties on various issues as the previous BRS government headed by him had implemented Dalit Bandhu and other schemes for the welfare of Dalits and others. Rao further stated he would speak to Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati soon and that Kumar had already spoken to her regarding the matter

Speaking about her plans for Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, she said, “Especially in UP, due to BSP contesting the elections alone with great strength, the opposition seems quite restless. That is why they keep trying to mislead people by spreading various kinds of rumors every day. But in the interest of Bahujan community, BSP's decision to contest the elections alone is firm."
