Poll verdict against those who opposed my becoming PM: Mayawati
November 11th, 2009 - 4:18 pm ICT by IANS -
Lucknow, Nov 11 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has
termed her party's sweep of by-polls in the state as a reflection of
people's anger against those who "got together and prevented me from
becoming the prime minister".
In a statement issued here Wednesday, a day after the poll results
came out, Mayawati said: "The entire opposition had got together at
the last general elections in May to prevent a Dalit's daughter from
becoming prime minister."
Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party, which finished a poor third in the
last Lok Sabha election in May, bagged as many as nine seats out of
the 11 Utar Pradesh assembly seats for which polls were held Nov 7.
The state's chief opposition Samajwadi Party drew a humiliating blank.
"The outcome of the by-election in the state has clearly shown how
people have rejected the Samajwadi Party, Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP)
as well as the Congress."
According to her: "It was my policy of 'sarvjan hitaye-sarvjan
sukhaye' (the good of all) in which people have once again reposed
their faith."
Training her guns at her bete noire Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam
Singh Yadav, she said: "On the other hand, people have given a blow to
Mulayam's designs for establishing a dynastic rule in the state."
Mulayam Singh Yadav's daughter-in-law Dimple lost to Congress'
actor-turned politician Raj Babbar in the Firozabad parliamentary
constituency.
Terming Dimple's defeat as "total rejection of Mulayam's dynastic
designs", Mayawati said: "What was worse was that his party could not
even retain Bhartana and Etawah assembly seats that were widely
proclaimed as his political bastions".
She also attributed the Congress' victory in Firozabad and Lucknow
(West) to the "systematic transfer of votes to the Congress by BJP,
whose real intention was to see BSP lose".
