BSP defers decision on support to UPA

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati yesterday deferred a decision on whether to continue her party's outside support to Congress-led UPA government in India, saying a final call on the issue will be taken by her soon.
At the same time, she asked her party cadres to be ready for snap parliamentary polls polls which "can take place any time" in view of a state of "instability" at the Centre.
The polls are due in 2014 in normal course.
Mayawati, who had said on Tuesday that a decision on the issue of continuing support to the UPA will be taken on Wednesday, said BSP National Executive and the Parliamentary Board have authorized her to take a final call on it.
“But there will be no delay. The decision will be taken soon and conveyed to you,” she told reporters in Lucknow after the meeting.
