Mauled in Mayaraj

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Unmindful of her own murky track record, Uttar pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has been working overtime to deny campaign space to her rivals – mainly Sonia, Rahul and Mulayam. Puja Awasthi on the Maya vendetta trail

As Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati declares war on her political opponents, her own administrative record continues to be woefully dismal. Mayawati's critics are on firm ground when they complain that none of the government's fancied public-private partnerships has taken off -- and that the only activity seen concerns sale of government property, such as sugar mills and hotels. And they argue – mostly convincingly – that what's for sale is the state itself. Quite literally.

Yet over the last month the Dalit leader has taken on both the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress, and left no one in doubt of how much she disdains the state's bureaucracy. Her first salvo came just two days before Congress president Sonia Gandhi was to perform bhoomi pujan at the site of a proposed rail coach factory – India's third – at Lalganj. This suddenly had Mayawati playing the farmers' mascot. It was her concern for them, she claimed, that had forced her government to reclaim the factory land in Rae Bareli – Sonia's parliamentary constituency. And she followed this up by clamping prohibitory orders on the district, which effectively derailed her rival's planned rally.

Clearly, Mayawati did not know that by doing a Mamta Banerjee in UP, she was getting it all wrong. For the very farmers she pretended to be rooting for – rather than thanking her, promptly cried foul, saying they were being robbed of the 1,000-plus jobs that the factory and its ancillary units had promised them. And they didn't stop here, but went a step further to become party to a public interest litigation (PIL) that was before the High Court to have the retraction stayed. Endorsing these left out farmers' Digvijay Singh, Congress general secretary and in charge of UP said: "Not a single one of them ever protested against the factory. This is pure political vendetta."
