A dalit's daughter should be made the PM: Mayawati

Voicing her prime ministerial ambitions, BSP supremo Mawayati said a "dalit's daughter" should be made the prime minister to ensure the
uplift of the backward and minority communities in the country.

"Unless the BSP government is in power both at the Centre and the state, the country and Uttar Pradesh will not progress," the UP chief minister said at an election rally here.

Mayawati told the gathering that only if they vote to make a "dalit's daughter" as prime minister, will there be development of the backward classes and minorities.

"If you make a dalit's daughter the Prime Minister, then UP will be famous in the entire world. If the BSP comes to power at the Centre, UP will occupy a special place," she said.
