BSP supremo Mayawati on Thursday junked SP chief Akhilesh Yadav's remarks about her prospects of becoming president of the country, saying she has never aspired to be one and that the SP leader was dreaming about it to clear his path to become the chief minister.
Mayawati's remarks come a day after Yadav said in Mainpuri that the “BSP has transferred its votes to the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh polls. Now it will be interesting to see whether the BJP makes Mayawati president (or not) in return.”
The BSP leader and former chief minister said she had never dreamt of being appointed to the post.
“I had never dreamt of becoming the president of the country. All I know that the work I am doing of making the downtrodden stand on their feet can be achieved by becoming CM and PM, but not president and so the Samajwadi Party should forget it,” Mayawati told reporters in Lucknow.
The SP leader is dreaming of making me the president of the country in order to clear the path for him to become the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, the BSP president said.
