NEW DELHI: BSP chief Mayawati’s decision to go solo in the forthcoming assembly by-elections to 11 seats of Uttar Pradesh has come as surprise to many. Is a fear of the probe agencies dealing with her disproportionate assets case behind her decision? Or is she preparing the ground to emerge as a chief ministerial contender in the assembly elections in the state in 2022? She has clearly been the gainer in the SP-BSP-RLD alliance in the recent Lok Sabha election as her party moved from scoring a nought in 2014 to bagging ten seats this time.

Criticising former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his 'Mi punha yein' (I will come back) refrain during the last year's assembly polls, Pawar said voters thought this stance smacked of arrogance and felt that they should be taught a lesson.

The veteran leader said he was neither the headmaster nor the remote control of the MVA and made it clear that Thackeray and his ministers were running the government. The former Union minister said this in an interview by Shiv Sena leader and Executive Editor of party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
