LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samajwadi Party supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Mayawati announced on Sunday that she too supported the
"quota within quota" demand by certain parties including the
Samajwadi, the RJD and the Janata Dal.


Senior BSP leader Satish Chandra Mishra told media persons on Sunday
evening that Mayawati has written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh seeking "quota within quota" of 33 percent for Scheduled Castes
and Tribes, religious minorities and the upper castes poor. Mayawati
has also clarified that the BSP was opposed to the SC/ST quota to be
part of the proposed 33 per cent.The BSP, unlike other opponents of
the Women's Quota Bill who are not partners in the Congress- led UPA,
is a supportor of the alliance from outside.

Mishra said that unless the women's quota bill was amended to
accommodate "quota within quota" demand of the party, the BSP would
oppose the Bill in Parliament.
