LUCKNOW/NEW DELHI: Coming amid BSP's attempt to net upper castes, Mayawati's announcement of a political heir from 'chamar' community, a subcaste of the Scheduled Castes marks a confidence that a reminder of its intrinsically Dalit character would not hurt its outreach to Brahmins, Vaishyas and others.
As BSP foot soldiers were told to kickstart the Maya-for-PM campaign, the UP chief minister appeared to be playing to the pan-Indian Dalit community via a well thought out script, even if risking being seen as jumping the gun in the absence of an endorsement from the ally, UNPA.
