Addressing a press conference on her birthday, BSP chief Mayawati made her party's stance clear for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh also added that she has no plans to retire from politics as of now.
Mayawati addressed a press conference on Monday and attacked Samajwadi Party, Congress and BJP. She announced that BSP will go solo in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Commenting on the seat sharing in the I.N.D.I.A bloc, Akhilesh Yadav in Ballia said, "It (I.N.D.I.A bloc) will take a decision very soon by taking the SP and other parties along. Let the Surya Uttarayan take place. All decisions will be taken as soon as the Surya Uttarayan occurs," he said.
Mayawati is keeping distance from both the BJP-led NDA and the opposition INDIA alliance and has indicated that her party would go alone in the upcoming general elections.

BJP chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's statement came at a time when a big protest led by I.N.D.I.A bloc members took place over the suspension of 143 MPs from the Parliament.
The announcement was made during a party meeting held in Lucknow, emphasising a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
This strategic move is anticipated to play a crucial role in the future leadership of the BSP, marking a significant development within the party's hierarchy.
Lok Sabha MP from Amroha, Danish Ali who was abused in the Parliament by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri, was suspended from the BSP over anti-party activities.
The BJP put up an impressive show in the Madhya Pradesh where it retained power in Assembly polls, while the party returned to power in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan with complete majority. Mayawati expressed concerns over the "one-sided results" in the four states, including Telangana.
The Assembly election in Madhya Pradesh is set to take place on November 17 and the counting of votes is scheduled for December 3 along with the results of four other states. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party will be in direct contest in the upcoming polls.
Chhattisgarh Assembly election will take place in two phases on November 7 and 17 and the counting of votes is scheduled for December 3. The state has a total of 90 Assembly seats.
Mayawati's BSP had released its first list of nine candidates in August. Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh will be held in two phases on November 7 and 17. The counting of votes has been scheduled for December 3.
The upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections will take place on November 23, with all 200 seats up for polls. The counting of votes is scheduled for December 3, coinciding with the counting in other states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, and Telangana.
India TV-CNX Opinion Poll: In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP had won 62 seats while its rival Samajwadi Party led by Akhilesh Yadav was confined to 5 seats. BJP’s ally Apna Dal (S) won 2 and Congress settled with a single seat.
With a caste survey report released in Bihar, calls for a similar exercise by Opposition parties have gained momentum in Uttar Pradesh. The political parties including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party and Apna Dal have pressed for the caste-based survey in the state.
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati criticised the BJP for passing the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament, alleging that the BJP did so solely for electoral gains.
Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party has announced its alliance with Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP) ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in the state which are due to be held later this year.
With preparations for the legislative elections in full swing, political parties are actively announcing their candidate lists. The BSP, led by Mayawati, is no exception, as it aims to make its mark in the state.
Chhattisgarh Assembly polls: According to a functionary of the Mayawati-led party, the BSP will field candidates on 53 seats, and the GGP will fight 37 seats in the 90-member House.
