  Mayawati: The next PM?
Share this debate
 
It is almost unimaginable that the outspoken, in-your-face Mayawati would become the Prime Minister of India. Though, it is true that the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader has an undeniable charisma to her personality, which makes her as popular in the state of Uttar Pradesh as in other parts of the country. You may like her, you may hate her, but there absolutely is no denying the fact hat you cannot ignore 'Behan Kumari Mayawati'. The woman has changed the face of Dalit politics in India, and she is literally worshipped by Dalits in UP. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader N Chandrababu Naidu, when asked to comment on Communist Party of India leader Bardhan's support for Mayawati as PM, responded, “Why cannot she be PM?” The comment sent ripples across the political scenario of the country and many political observers shook their heads in disbelief. Does she stand on the same grounds as seasoned politicians like AB Vajpayee, LK Advani or Manmohan Singh? Does she really have the same sensibility, knowledge or experience? Is Mayawati really deserving of being the next Prime Minister of India?

Strongly agree
Kuldeep : Apr 26, 2009
mayabati is the best leader she is true she is against gundaraj her development in up are non comparable
trideep : Apr 23, 2009
She is the best, Mayawatiji has all the capabilities and knowledge and power to rule us all indians. She has a good background in education, not like others who dont even know how to speak. She is a true politician and has displayed her Superiority in game of politics to everybody else. Mayawatiji will be a great Prime Minister for India.

If congress can see Rahul as prospective P.M., why not Mayabati? She is not an inborn leader? What she is today, it is only due to her capabilities, leadership, vision, etc. If she can rule efficiently and effectively the largest populated state of India, then I donot think any problem in directing India. Mr. Kanshi Ram and She has given new much awaited direction to Indian politics. I can visualise her as the most successful P.M. of India, who will give real freedom to the people of India.
Dr. Kehar Singh : Feb 21, 2009
Yes, she has every qualities and capacity to be PM of India. She is a right candidate for the post. People are simply looking at her caste not the ability. Even after 60 years of freedom, this Hindu ideology of caste system is not washed from these peoples mind. His holiness MANU only should come back and modify these people.
Shirole : Dec 31, 2008
I'll beg the army to take over, Her tryouts here in TN was a joke !
Anand : Dec 24, 2008
She is somuch better, experienced, realistic than Obama. Change needs to come to India now, high time we have a dalit woman prime minister. Yes, we can!!
Tej : Nov 07, 2008
ya is is able to become the next PM. if she can govern the India's largest state, why coundnt she?????????????
rafees : Aug 21, 2008

karthi : Aug 01, 2008
no ways...she is not someone i m sure the majority of this country's people can associate with as their PM. So she cannot be the right person out there, yes, i know that he has this electrifying effect in her speeches and has that ability of making an impact on the masses but no..not as the prime ministr of this country. the PM has to be someone who has an appeal thruout the country and Mayawati hasn't reached there yet!
priyanka : Jul 30, 2008
My dear friend. Mayawati is an uneducated, corrupted, worthless person. She does not have the qualities to run a country like India. Being a dalit, has she ever fouhgt for the dalits cause. I haven't seen any press which says that she has donated money from her bank accounts for any dalit who has been harrassed. We live in a society of human beings, don't really want to see a worthless human being run this great country.
Anon : Jul 30, 2008
What kind of debate is this? You seem to be asking questions. As a moderator you should be making a statement, not asking questions in a debate.
Siddiqui : Jul 28, 2008
Binu Joseph : Jul 25, 2008
The way she controls crime in UP is extraordinary. At the same time the way she controls bureaucrats is also amazing and we need this in India. I am not sure but she may be able to do the job. At the same time why she ignores Noida all the time?
Himalyan Development Society (HDS) : Jul 23, 2008
please god no
navdeep : Apr 04, 2009
Never...never...never. Not because she is dalit but because she has already proved herself by prisoning her GURU and establishing her own statues around UP and by accumulating wealth unbound. She is a ruthless lady and does not know manners even.
sujit roy : Apr 01, 2009
no... it can be anyone else but not mayawati... what personality she has... she just doesn't deserve to be any of the ministers... she has big crmininal cases against her, how can she be our next PM ??????
vishal : Feb 26, 2009
That day will be the worst day for India if she becomes tha PM. She has no ideology, no ethics at all.
biru : Oct 23, 2008
Disagree, it can't be anything else. Mayawati- the pioneer of Caste-politics- is in no way lesser a leader than Raj Thackeray. Raj leads Marathis whereas she can't think beyond Bahujan Samaj.
Desh : Oct 23, 2008
I disagree
diva : Sep 02, 2008
I was completly taken aback when these news started coming up in the media i felt somewhere we are taken for granted by these 541 politicos....i admire Mayawati for the kind of work she has been doing in UP. i only admire the part where has taken extreme bold steps to make the UP bureacratic circles efficient and that could be seen by the way Lucknow has changed its face. But when it comes dealing with other aspects of being a politican i see Mayawati being driven by revenge, caste or and her immense wealth. I know a person changes completly after he jumps into the puddle of a being a politican but somehere wou need to change the way you try coming out of the puddle rather than just moving your hands or feet in haphazard manner. Its good for her to be ambitious but its still a long way to go for her before she can stake in a moral and a commanding manner.
journodeceptor : Aug 04, 2008
She can not.
Naveen Nicolas John : Aug 04, 2008
Vasant Kumar : Aug 02, 2008
How some people think Mayabati as PM ? In India there is many popular leader to sit on that post. After defeating in the No trust motion, those peoples are now give up the dreaming of MayaVati as PM of the country.
AKHAND : Aug 02, 2008
ye topic kab tak chalega, 2 weeks ho gaye he he :)
sandy : Aug 02, 2008

Laila Rajaratnam : Jul 31, 2008
SORRY i posted it on the wrong side..i disagree! no ways...she is not someone i m sure the majority of this country's people can associate with as their PM.

Priyanka Thakur : Jul 30, 2008
The time is not ripe for her right now. She is trying to increase her political base. She is a force to reckon with in Up, but she has to prove her strength in other states. What are the states and who are the parties who can support her on the way to becoming the PM. Assume Maya is getting 60 seats in UP. This is a simple theory- If BJP and congress are getting close to 140 each, nobody is going to become the PM other than from Congress or BJP. There is a scenario which is next to impossible that congress or BJP supports Mayawati and she becomes the PM. In an alliance politics scenario the bigger the alliance the bigger the chance of forming government. And the biggest supporter will make the PM. So, Mayawati is out of race for the next 10 years.
sanjay : Jul 30, 2008
Vasant Kumar : Jul 30, 2008
Mayawati is still amateur ..........May be it would take time to make herself ready to rule the country...

No comments!!!
Smitha : Jul 23, 2008
Mayawati is not yet ready for Central Politics as yet. We have yet to review her work as CM for 1 term atleast. We have had Indira Wave, Jayalalitha Wave, and now Mayawati. Jayalalitha did topple the Government on numbers. Jayalaitha cannot be perceived as a National leader, since her mis governance and abuse of power that led to her fall. India has to wait and see the dynamics of Mayawati - Governance or Greed
Siscute : Jul 22, 2008
she is commited towards her caste.in this way she is spreading the fire of caste distinction in the society.
pushkar bajpai : Jul 21, 2008
Kidding, right??
Rakesh : Jul 21, 2008
She can never be a PM.
