To fulfill her ambition of becoming the Prime Minister of the country, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Monday silently launched her party’s campaign for the lok Sabha polls using strong “Dalit Card”. Her ambition came to the fore during two-day long workers meet of lucknow and Kanpur division which began here at Indira Gandhi Pratisthan on Monday morning.
As momentum for 2019 polls gains pace, Mayawati has very tactfully started to establish her ambition for the Prime Ministerial post. It’s the reason why she is seriously pursuing the idea of alliances both in her home-State of Uttar Pradesh as well as beyond. She not only wants to expand the foot print of her party across States and be a respectable force inside the lok Sabha, she also hopes to have a rapport with both Congress and other non-NDA regional players. The Dalit leader’s emergence out of political hibernation to become a reckoning force in 2019 was signaled by the rapport she displayed with Sonia Gandhi on stage with the rest of the Opposition bigwigs in Bengaluru.
