NEW DELHI: Mayawati’s journey from the political margins to the centre-stage has not gone unnoticed. Her party’s recent landslide victory in Uttar Pradesh has earned for the Bahujan Samaj Party supremo a place among the eight women in leadership positions across the world in the latest issue of the US-based Newsweek magazine.

Ms Mayawati has been profiled for the magazine’s “Women and Leadership” series. In the article, Ms Mayawati has said that she likes to compete and to win. Leaving no one in doubt, the BSP chief has clearly stated that her aim now is to replicate the winning formula that has served her well in UP in other states and prepare for the bigger struggle to capture power in New Delhi.

Ms Mayawati, while spelling out her long-term political goals, wrote: “I like the competition and I like to win. Our aim now is to replicate the winning formula in other states and prepare for the bigger struggle to capture power in New Delhi. Political parties dominated by upper castes got alarmed by the rising masses. Their opposition cut short each of my first four stints as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.”
