Mayawati, who heads the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), will not contest the upcoming Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, said party general secretary SC Misra.
The senior BSP leader said he too will not contest the state election that is set to be held in seven phases between February 10 and March 7.
Since elections are being held in several states, including Punjab and Uttarakhand, along with Uttar Pradesh, the BSP president will not contest the polls and help party candidates win, Misra said.
The former chief minister is currently neither a legislator nor a parliamentarian. She has has never contested an Assembly election in the state in the past. Misra is a Rajya Sabha member. The BSP will contest all 403 seats in Uttar Pradesh alone.
