The Congress approached BSP supremo Mayawati for an alliance ahead of the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. This is to say of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He said that Mayawati was also offered the chief minister’s post, but she did not respond. Rahul believes that this happened because she was under pressure from the investigating agencies of the Central Government.
He said, “You must have seen that Mayawati did not contest the elections. We had sent a message to Mayawati that you should form an alliance, you should become the chief minister. They did not even talk. Those people, like Kanshi Ramji, I respect them a lot.”
Rahul said, “She has shed blood and sweat to wake up the voice of Dalits in Uttar Pradesh… It is another matter that the Congress suffered… But today Mayawati is saying that I will not fight for that voice.” “

He further said, “They left the ground open. Why? CBI, ED, Pegasus… People can only fight with them… They (government) will not allow implementation of the Constitution. Constitution should be implemented through institutions.” But they (government) have captured all the institutions.” “If the institutions are not in our hands, then the Constitution is also not in our hands,” Rahul said.
However, during the assembly elections, Congress general secretary and in-charge of UP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had repeatedly insisted that the party would contest the elections alone.
