Lucknow The Opposition joined forces in the Lok Sabha elections so that a Dalit does not occupy the chair of the country’s Prime Minister, Chief Minister Mayawati, who turned 54 on Friday, says in her latest book.
“The reason behind these parties reaching a covert understanding during the confidence vote sought by the Central government on the Indo-US nuclear deal was to stop me from becoming the Prime minister,” Mayawati writes in the fifth volume of her book A travelogue of my struggle ridden life and BSP movement — excerpts of which were released by her on Friday.
Terming as country’s “misfortune” that dynastic rule and politics of nepotism were still prevalent, Mayawati laments that it was not only encouraged in an “aggressive” manner but “unethical” alliances were also formed by different parties against the daughter of a Dalit, thereby trampling upon wishes of the general public.
On the construction of grand memorials and parks in the state, she writes that they are not to the liking of the Congress-led government at the Centre and the Opposition shows the “animosity” towards her.
In the 1,100 page book whose Hindi and English versions have been released simultaneously, Mayawati writes that though her birthdays are dedicated to the BSP movement, it has never been liked by the Opposition. They are against the poor and the weaker sections of society and the supporters of capitalists, she added
