New Delhi: A day after it formally joined
the UPA, the Rashtriya Lok Dal on Tuesday said Anna Hazare`s
campaign in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh will work in favour of
Congress-RLD alliance in the state as "people see Mayawati
government as a corrupt government".
"They (Team Anna) are free to decide their own course of
action. But I think the Anna campaign will help us in UP
because people see Mayawati government as a corrupt
government. If the campaign is against corruption then it
would galvanise support for us," RLD leader Jayant Choudhary
told reporters outside Parliament.

told reporters outside Parliament.
He said people of Uttar Pradesh have aspirations and
today they want to oust the "corrupt Mayawati government".
Attacking the BSP supremo, the RLD MP said, "Today entire
police force is demoralised in the state. She has used the
entire state machinery to collect money and indulge in
corruption. Everyone is fed up with her and that is going to
be a major issue in the elections."
When asked how many berths the party is getting in the
cabinet, he said, "We have given our support to the UPA but
cannot comment on getting berths in Cabinet."
