LUCKNOW: Exuding confidence that her party was bagging votes of ‘sarv samaj’, including most backwards and upper castes, besides her core Dalit and Muslim vote-bank, BSP supremo Mayawati said her party would form the government with a clear majority, in a re-run of 2007. She was reacting to Union home minister Amit Shah’s remark on BSP’s palpable sway over Muslims and Dalits.
Talking to reporters on Wednesday after exercising her franchise in Lucknow, she said it was Shah’s magnanimity that he has accepted the ground reality. Poll results on March 10 would come as a shocker to both BJP and Samajwadi Party, which are both claiming victory even before the last vote is cast, she added.
