Lucknow, November 30: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Wednesday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that Muslims be given reservation.
In her letter, Mayawati has suggested that Muslims be given reservation as per their percentage in the population.
Clearly the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister does not want to take chances with her party’s poll prospect ahead of the big fight early next year.
However, to her credit, Mayawati has been espousing the ‘Sarvajan Hitaya, Sarvajan Sukhaya’ (For the gain of all, for the welfare of all) mantra for long.
She had earlier demanded that the poor among the forward castes be also given reservation.
