Noida, Oct 14: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati today alleged that the Congress was planning to instal either Meira Kumar or Sushilkumar Shinde (both Dalits) as Prime Minister just before the UP assembly polls scheduled next year to sway the Dalit vote bank in the state.
Mayawati was inaugurating the Rs 680-crore National Dalit Memorial (Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal), a controversial project which was cleared by Supreme Court after a year-long litigation in Noida. In reality, it marked the launch of her poll campaign in UP.
"The Congress party, with a heavy heart, and a heavy stone on its chest, might out of fear of BSP possibly appoint either Meira Kumar or Sushilkumar Shinde as Prime Minister for a brief period just before the UP assembly elections, but I can challenge them that our Dalit vote bank is not going to be swayed. Not a single dalit vote will be going to the Congress", Mayawati said.
