BSP supremo Mayawati would not be contesting the forthcoming assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.

'Mayawatiji has decided not to contest the assembly elections. I too will not enter the fray," BSP general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra told reporters here on Tuesday.

Mishra exuded confidence that the BSP would form the next government in the state with a comfortable majority. "We will form the next government on our own," the BSP leader added.

He said that the 2022 UP poll results would be like the one witnessed in 2007 when the BSP had secured absolute majority riding its 'social engineering' formula that was aimed at bringing the Brahmin-Dalit and Muslims together.

Mishra said that the BSP was in the process of finalising its candidates for the forthcoming polls. "We will announce our candidates shortly. The process of selection of candidates is on," he said.

He also said that Mayawati would be visiting the other states also where assembly elections would be held along with UP.
