I agree when you say that she should campaign on the plank of law and order. But something suggests she is not willing to fight the good fight now, or is constrained by BJP in some way
” … the muscle-flexing Yadavs of the SP and the Banias and Brahmins of the BJP,…” type of adjectives can come to a highly communal mindset of the type of DK Singh, the author of this opinion. The whole article is full of garbage.
For better or worse, Ms Mayawati should have stayed with Akhilesh Babu. She was hasty in calling off the alliance after the general election. Her England returned nephew does not have the fire in the belly that Chandrashekhar Azad does. With all the caveats of not writing off a politician, her career seems to be drawing to a close.
Mayawati has no political insight into Dalit issues. She has not contributed to their empowerment except by way of installing herself in power and thereby enhancing their self-respect. But sadly that has a sell-by-date tag on it. We are seeing the last days of Mayawati’s political relevance.
