With Lok Sabha elections fast approaching, the political scene is India is heating up. Every party wants to projects its candidate as the next prime minister. First it was NCP turn, projecting Indian cricket chief and current agriculture minister, Sharad Pawar as its Prime Ministerial candidate. Now it is the turn of the BSP.
In the latest political developments in the ever changing world of Indian politics, Ms Mayawati wants to join the Third Front only if she is projected as the Prime Ministerial candidate of this hurriedly clobbered coalition of parties. Her reasoning behind the claim to the post of the Prime Minister is “based on the fact that she is the leader of the largest state in the country and more popular than any other leader in the state”.
Granted she is the leader of the largest state in the country. But India does not just comprise of Uttar Pradesh. There are other states in the union and Mayawati may have forgotten about that in her hunger for power.
The so called leaders can play all the shenanigans they want, but ultimately it is the citizens of India who will decide who they want to be Prime Minister, be it ManMohan Singh, LK Advani, Sharad Pawar, Mayawati or Deve Gowda.
Maybe Ms Mayawati should read You Don't Need a Title to be a Leader just to put things in prespective.
