Claim: BSP leader Mayawati declared her party support's to BJP in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections in March 2022.
Fact-check: This video of BSP supremo Mayawati extending support to BJP is related to 2020 UP MLC elections - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shared in the post shows mayawati's old press conference held in october 2020. in the press meet, mayawati said that her party will vote for bjp and all other opposition parties to defeat samajwadi party's second candidate in the uttar pradesh legislative council elections. after a few days of her announcement, mayawati took a u-turn and said that she would rather retire from politics than align with the bjp. recently, amid the uttar pradesh election campaign, mayawati accused bjp of 'anti-dalit' policies. the video shared in the post is old and not related to the upcoming 2022 uttar pradesh assembly elections. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
