Lucknow, Jan 15 (IANS) On her 54th birthday Friday, Bahujan Samaj
Party (BSP) boss and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati released
the fifth volume of her book detailing her political struggles. In it,
Mayawati has claimed she would have become prime minister but for the
'ganging up by Congress, BJP and Samajwadi Party'.
The BSP chief released the book, titled 'Mere Sangharshmay Jeevan Evam
BSP Movement ka Safarnam', at her official residence here.
Releasing the book, she said: 'This volume has a detailed account of
the progress made by the party togther with whatever I have done over
the past one year.'
In this 1,100-page volume, Maywati flays the opposition for
criticising her decision to dedicate and build memorials for leading
Dalit icons, who she alleged were 'systematically ignored by
successive ruling parties over the years'.
Lashing out at the Congress party in particular, for what she termed
as its 'anti-Dalit mindset', Mayawati writes in her book: 'The
Congress party has made these memorials, built in the interest and for
the use of general public, as an excuse for their political animosity
to us. In addition to misusing the central government machinery for
the purpose, they are also opposing these vehemently in the court of
law.'
She goes on to add: 'These historic construction works executed by my
government in Uttar Pradesh are like a thorn in the flesh of the
Congress party.'
Referring to her book, she said: 'I am able to write this for the
readers because it has been a very old hobby of mine to get up early
in the morning and do some reading and writing. That was how many
documents related to the BSP movement are now treasured by the party.'
She also made it a point to claim that she would have become the
country's prime minister 'if it were not for the ganging up by
Congress, BJP and Samajwadi Party.'
