BSP president and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Saturday sought to clarify that even though her national general secretary Satish Misra may remain her blue-eyed Brahmin mascot, yet she had no intention of anointing Misra as her successor. Making this amply clear at a meeting of party legislators, district coordinators , MPs and ministers the fourth one since the last Lok Sabha elections at BSP's state headquarters here Saturday, Mayawati was understood to have declared, "my successor will be a Dalit only". She also sought to draw a parallel between herself and late Indira Gandhi [Images] by declaring, "In the event that the Central government succeeds in its conspiracy to send me to jail, I am sure it will prove a boon to me in the same manner as the arrest of Indira Gandhi, who swept back with a thumping majority."It was a four-and-a-half-hour closed-door marathon session. And the packed house listened to 'Behenji's' monologue that was largely devoted to her echoing hypothesis on becoming the country's prime minister. "I am aware that everyone was wondering who I would nominate as my successor in the event I rode on to become prime minister. I was also told that the other than Satish Misra, the names of Naseem Siddiqui and Swami Prasad Maurya were doing rounds ; but let me clarify that while I would accommodate these prominent leaders in key positions at the Centre , a committed Dalit alone would be my successor as chief minister here," she told the gathering .
