Dashing Congress' hopes for a pre-poll alliance in Uttar Pradesh yet again, BSP supremo Mayawati equated it with the BJP for 'tormenting minorities'.

To drive home her point, she mentioned slapping of national security act (NSA) against Muslims by Kamal Nath-led Congress government in Madhya Pradesh and the BJP-led UP government booking 14 AMU students under sedition charges.

Taking to twitter got changed from formal @SushriMayawati to a more informal @Mayawati, she said, "Congress govt in MP like BJP slapped atrocious NSA against Muslims for cow slaughter. Now the UP BJP govt booked 14 AMU students under notorious sedition charges. Both are example of state terror & condemnable. People should decide what is difference between Cong & BJP govt?"

Despite provocation, Congress chose to keep quiet knowing well that its coalition government in MP is standing on weak legs with the support of two MLAs from BSP and one from SP and it can ill afford to annoy Mayawati.

Mayawati's tough stand against Congress is being read as her reluctance to accommodate the party as a bigger alliance partner and rather concentrate on Dalit-Muslim combination to emerge victorious. Earlier, Mayawati had said that she didn't see any "benefit in any tie-up with the Congress as its votes are not transferable."

The Congress has been bargaining for at least 10-12 seats in Uttar Pradesh out of the 80 seats that are up for stake in the coming Lok Sabha elections against the two seats (Rae Bareli and Amethi) that Mayawati and Akhilesh have offered as concession. After Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's enrty in UP politics, the Congress is hopeful of getting a better bargain.
