Lucknow, January 7: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Tuesday said it will not form any alliance and contest the assembly elections in Delhi on its own. Party chief Mayawati said BSP is a party of the poor and the oppressed, which stays away from muscle and money power. Mayawati, in a post on X, further expressed hope that the Election Commission would ensure the Delhi Assembly polls were not tainted by the "misuse of government machinery, communalism, and other vile propaganda".
