Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati assured support to the Congress in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to keep the BJP out of power. The Congress has fallen short of the majority seats in both states, hence her support will take the Congress to cross the halfway mark in two states.
In the 230-seat Madhya Pradesh assembly, the Congress gained 114 seats, which are two seats short of the required 116 seats for majority while the BJP gained 114 seats. The BSP has won two seats in MP while got six in Rajasthan.
"Our aim is to keep the BJP out of power. And that is why we have decided to support the Congress in Madhya Pradesh", Mayawati said.
"We have decided to support the Congress in Rajasthan as well. We fought these elections to ensure that the BJP does not come back to power," said Mayawati
