Mayawati blames muslims
angered by the blow to her prime ministerial aspirations, Bahujan Samaj Party president and Uttar Pradesh [Images] Chief Minister Mayawati [Images] on Saturday sought to blame her party's dismal showing in the Lok Sabha election on non-cooperation by Muslims and the "conspiracy" by different parties.
"Very few Muslims voted for my party this time," she told a hurriedly convened press conference at her home in Lucknow [Images]. "We got the support of the Muslim community only in constituencies where we fielded Muslim candidates," she added.
