Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) chief Mayawati Tuesday mounted a blistering attack on both BJP and Congress and accused them of betraying the Dalits and the minorities while benefitting the rich. "Both Congress and BJP are corrupt. While Congress was in news for its involvement in the Bofors scam, the BJP government has been embroiled in Rafale deal," Mayawati said. Though BSP's presence in Odisha is limited, the party has been contesting both Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the state in recent times. Assembly election in Odisha is scheduled to be held along with the Lok Sabha polls in four phases on April 11, 18, 23 and 29.
