Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said the "helplessness" of the UPA was reflected in the manner in which it took support from BSP during the cut motions in Lok Sabha in the just-concluded Budget session.
"It is no longer a secret on what grounds UPA got BSP's favour. CBI which was after BSP softened after the cut motion," she said at a function here yesterday referring to the disproportionate assets case against Chief Minister Mayawati.
She also said that in order to prevent the cut motion from being passed, Congress joined hands with opponents of the women's reservation bill - Lalu Prasad (RJD), Mulayam Singh Yadav (SP) and BSP.
Swaraj said that the new BJP team for Uttar Pradesh will be announced shortly.
