Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati Monday said the Congress's faulty policies are to be blamed for its defeat in the assembly elections.
"Congress's faulty policies are responsible for its loss in the assembly election. AAP got all the Congress votes," Mayawati said.

"We support them from outside, to keep the communal forces out, but our party has nothing to do with the government", added Mayawati.
