BSP chief Mayawati pledged to avenge her "humiliation" by the BJP which "falsely implicated" her in the Taj corridor case.

Ruling out any post-poll alliance with the BJP, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Sunday pledged to avenge humiliation at the hands of the saffron party which "falsely implicated" her in the Taj corridor case.

Addressing a poll rally here she rubbished claims of her political adversaries that she will go for an alliance with BJP after the polls.

"This very BJP falsely implicated me in the Taj corridor scandle", she said and alleged that the party used CBI to put pressure on her for seeking political favours.

Justifying her party's decision to go alone in the Lok Sabha polls, Mayawati said the past experiences revealed that BSP was a loser whenever it entered into alliance with other parties.

"Our vote bank was transferable but it was not the same with the vote bank of other political parties", she added.

Pledging to venge the humiliation she suffered at the hands of BJP, she said the party ditched her during assembly elections to four states and when BSP founder president Kanshi Ram was hospitalised. "How can I forget this", she said.
