Why the Congress continues to woo Mayawati despite political snubs

Despite Mayawati’s public snubs, the Congress continues to court her and before every election, sends feelers for an electoral alliance. Despite Karnataka, the Congress once again made a futile attempt recently to ally with her in Haryana, where she has twice changed her poll partners in recent years. The Congress wanted to build a Jat-Jatav combination.

It all started in 1999 when Sonia Gandhi drove to Mayawati’s Delhi residence with a bouquet of pink flowers to wish her on her birthday.(Arijit Sen/HT Photo)
