Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati today announced that her party will contest all elections across the country on its own and claimed that it would form a government with a full majority in Uttar Pradesh.

Addressing a press conference in Lucknow on her 70th birthday, Ms Mayawati attacked the State Government and said that the law and order situation in the state is the same as it was in the previous Samajwadi Party Government, and there is a need to make it stricter. She said that the party had decided that it was more appropriate to fight all small and big elections independently and would not enter into any kind of alliance with any party.
