Lucknow, Jan 21: BSP Chief Mayawati slammed the Congress for insisting on an alliance with SP ahead of UP polls, calling it a tactic undrestanding between two parties mired with corruption cases along with political bankruptcy of ideas for both the parties.

She further alleged Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav of conniving with his son and termed the Yadav family feud a "drama". 
 
"Mulayam Singh with his son Akhilesh, has been engaged in a drama with the sole aim to divert the people's attention from the failure of the Akhilesh government. it is a clever conspiracy of scripting a family feud when there was none." Mayawati told media persons here. Adding to her diatribe against Congress BSP supremo added that the party was on life support in UP and could only hope for a revival based on an allaince.  
    
"It's not just the Samajwadi Party's family drama but the Congress' extreme power hungry face that has been exposed. The alliance may not have materialised yet, but it has exposed how the Congress has accepted to bow down before the tainted SP. 
 
 "By doing this, the Congress' top leadership has proven that their party indeed is on a ventilator. Such pathetic is their condition in UP that despite their top leader holding rallies, the party is unable to even find candidates," she said targeting Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
 
 "They even sacrificed their Chief Ministerial candidate Sheila Dikshit and accepted Akhilesh the symbol of Jungleraj, This reflects the extent of Congress' political bankruptcy," said Mayawati.
