Joint opposition prevented from PM’s post: Mayawati

Lucknow, January 15: The opposition joined forces in the Lok Sabha elections so that a Dalit does not occupy the chair of country’s Prime Minister, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BSP president Mayawati, who turned 54 today, says in her latest book.

“This is the reason behind these parties reaching a covert understanding during the confidence vote sought by the Central government in the Parliament on the Indo-US nuclear deal so as 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 her birthday.
