Patna, Feb 26: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati today ruled out any possibility of forming electoral alliance either with the Congress or the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) although doors for dialogue with other parties had not been closed.
Addressing a rally here, she said the congress used to humiliate Babasaheb Ambedkar in every possible way and exhorted the members of backward communities to strive for preventing the Congress from coming to power.
Describing NDA constituents as parties run by 'manuwadis', former Uttar Pradesh chief minister remarked that policies of reservation for backward classes in respect of appointments and other facilities would not be implemented until ''manuwadi forces'' were ousted from power.
However, she said the BSP was continuing dialogue with various other political parties on sharing of seats in the coming polls. She further said it would join hands with only those who guarantee transfer of votes of their followers to the BSP in those constituencies where the party would contest on seat sharing basis.
