Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Saturday claimed that Congress offered to withdraw Taj Corridor and disproportionate assets cases against her for an electoral understanding with BSP for the 2004 Lok Sabha polls.
The BSP supremo, however, preferred to go to the people's court and face the electorate in the 2012 Assembly elections.
She said Congress had offered to withdraw both the cases on coming to power in 2004 in return for a national level understanding with BSP for the elections.
She termed both the cases as conspiracy hatched by the BJP which, she alleged, tried to pressurise her for having a tie-up leaving 60 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats for BSP in the state.
Mayawati made these remarks at a closed-door meeting of party MPs, MLAs and office bearers.
