Mayawati gets blueprint to thrash Modi, Rahul in PM race
Lucknow, July 8: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati seems to have received the blueprint to achieve her political goal. The leader now openly expressed her desire to become the Prime Minister of the country after the next general election.
While BJP and Congress were in dilemma in nominating Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi respectively as the PM candidate, Mayawati's open statement shocked many.
Preaching
for
equality
and
progress
of
the
backward
classes,
the
BSP
leader
said,
"We
cannot
come
to
the
Centre
without
associating
all
the
caste
with
us.
My
party
has
decided
to
associate
upper
caste
and
religious
minorities
along
with
Dalits
and
backward
and
we
started
from
Uttar
Pradesh."
If they come to power, her party would deliver a good governance and much more in five years than what all other parties did in over 60 years after Independence, vowed Mayawati. She also claimed that she represents a party which stands for all castes and communities.
"I have given more tickets to Brahmins because of their participation in party activities. If other upper castes and Muslims contribute more, they may get an even bigger share of election tickets and if voted to power, in the government and administration," said the BSP supremo.
The former CM also criticised Modi over the controversy on his "rambo act" in rescuing 15,000 Gujaratis from flood-ravaged Uttarakhand.
Leaving a message for the countrymen, Mayawati said, "People must think before voting, because a person who aspires to be PM but talks only about saving Gujaratis in a calamity like the one that struck Uttarakhand will not be able to work honestly on a post which requires nationalist and secular credentials."
Speaking about the victims and survivors in Uttarakhand, Mayawati added, "We are grieved with massive loss of life and property due to incessant rain and landslide in Uttarakhand, we pray to give courage to the affected people."
