Give Madame Mayawati credit
Two slogans are UP hui hamari hai, ab Delhi ki baari hai (UP is now ours, next is Delhi) and Gali, gali main macha hai shor, haathi chala Delhi ki aur (Every bylane echoes the elephant's march to Delhi).

BSP banks on Mayawati factor in any new govt
In fact, BSP assembly candidates in South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency got a vote share of over 24.5% by polling 2.12 lakh votes. The BSP had won Badarpur seat and was second in Tughlakabad and Deoli. In half of the assembly constituencies, Gujjars have a sizeable population which can influence the poll outcome. Tanwar himself is a Gujjar.

India's top 10 women politicians
http://specials.rediff.com/getahead/2009/mar/06slid6-indias-most-influential-women.htm
Love her or hate her, you can't ignore politician Mayawati. The CM of Uttar Pradesh started life off in humble surroundings, the daughter of a Dalit telecommunications clerk in Delhi. Securing bachelor's degrees in Law and Education, she became a teacher before joining the Bahunjan Samaj Party in 1984 and switching to fulltime politics. The BSP, which sought to represent the Dalits, has become a political force to be reckoned with in the last few years and many are of the opinion that she will be the nation's next prime minister. Today, Mayawati is the highest income tax-paying politician in India, shelling out Rs 26 crore per year and is closing in on Sonia Gandhi onForbes' list of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women -- she weighed in at number 59 as of 2008.
Life lesson from Mayawati:
Turn your perceived weaknesses into strengths; the lower down you start, the higher you'll climb.
Maywati Ranked 2nd by Rediff in the list of "Top Women Politicians"

The late Kanshi Ram may have been the soul of the Bahujan Samaj Party but it was Mayawati, his chosen heiress, who was its face. As well as head and heart. Urban and urbane India may never comprehend her politics or its success, but to the millions of Dalits she remains the biggest hope.
In 2002, she was the first Dalit woman -- a double minority, if you please -- to become a chief minister, when her party tied up with its foe the BJP to keep Mulayam Singh out.
As UP prepares for another round of hard-fought elections, Mayawati will remain central to its outcome.
What not to ask her: Will you patch up with Mulayam?

The "untouchable" and her rise to power in India
In the late 1960s, a little girl and her family set out from a Delhi shanty town to visit her grandparents in a distant village. It was a long journey, and her parents began to chat to other passengers on the bus. When they revealed their destination was the chamar mohalla – the area usually found on the outskirts of a village and inhabited by those at the lowest level of the Indian caste hierarchy – the bus fell silent. The little girl’s mother had to explain to her that other Indians considered the caste to which her family belonged to be unclean.
More than 40 years later, that little girl, known simply as Mayawati, is a political hero for lower-caste Indians throughout the north of the country. She is a Dalit, a member of the caste known historically as “untouchables”. And Dalits in the state of Uttar Pradesh hurry in their thousands to her rallies, where she tells them how proud she is to have been born into a Dalit family. “I am the daughter of a Chamar [a Dalit]. I am a Chamar. I am yours.” In May 2007, she became chief minister of Uttar Pradesh for the fourth time. On taking the oath of office, she declared that “nobody can stop me from becoming prime minister”. We shall find out soon enough if she is right: India goes to the polls in a general election in April and May this year.

No one can ignore Mayawati -- that is for sure.
Many foresee her as the next prime minister. The BSP chief and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is keeping her cards close to her chest.
Has not committed any poll deals with any party. But she will set terms to the Third Front if she gets a lion's share of the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, Karat struck a deal with Maya, but it fell apart later.
No one can ignore Maya -- that is for sure.
