JAIPUR: Showing signs of differences within the UNPA on the issue of leadership of Mayawati, the INLD has ruled out the BSP chief as its prime ministerial candidate.

"No to the proposal of her as PM," INLD general secretary Ajay Chautala told reporters here yesterday on a question whether INLD could join hands with BSP and project Mayawati as the future prime minister.

Chautala, however was not adverse to forge a pre-poll alliance with BSP during elections in the states.

INLD was contemplating pre-poll alliance with any of the UNPA members and would field over 100 candidates in the polls, he said.

"The UNPA will emerge as a 'third force' in the country and attempts were being made to evolve the alliance in the four states -- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Delhi, going to polls later this year" Chautala said.

He also said Rajasthan should have a farmer as its next Chief Minister.
