Congress, BJP Are Saanpnath-Naagnath: Mayawati On Tie-Ups After Polls | Read

Uttar Pradesh politician Mayawati today stressed that she would prefer to sit in the opposition rather than form any alliance with either the Congress or the BJP in Chhattisgarh, describing them as "Saanpnath" and "Naagnath" (both snakes). Mayawati, who was in talks with the Congress for a tie-up for state elections not long ago, said neither party cared about the marginalized, the poor, the farmers and labourers. Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is contesting the ongoing Chhattisgarh election in alliance with Ajit Jogi, a Congress rebel and the state's first chief minister.
