In the latest development before the UP assembly election, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has on September 10 announced that her party won't give tickets to those who have a criminal background. ''If the BSP government is formed in the state then strict action would be taken against such elements," Mayawati added. Notably, her decision came after BSP MLA Mafia Mukhtar Ansari's brother joined the Samajwadi Party.
