Mayawati starts her caste politics

After the controversy over garlands made of currency notes Mayawati has returned to her core Dalit votebank. In the line of fire are nearly 150 government lawyers and the Brahmin face of the Bahujan Samaj Party - Satish Chandra Mishra.

The 25th foundation day rally of the BSP was meant to be the biggest show of strength from Mayawati, but it will now be remembered for her oldest flaws - her love for Dalits and disdain for the upper castes.

First Vijay Shankar Pandey was booted out of the Chief Minister's office along with his brother Ajay Shankar Pandey.

Now the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has decided to sack over a 100 Brahmin lawyers, most of whom are considered to be close to Mishra, who is one time confidante and the upper caste face of Mayawati.
