She tweeted following her inoculation, "I have a strong appeal to the people of the country to properly follow the Corona rules and take full advantage of vaccination by not refusing government claims related to vaccines."
Mayawati served four terms as UP CM between 1995 and 2012. Referred to as 'behen ji' (sister) by the Bahujan and other oppressed castes in India, Mayawati is recognised as a significant representation of diversity in politics.
Mayawati Seeks Probe Into Mamata 'Attack'
On Friday, Mayawati weighed in on dialogue around the Nandigram 'attack' against Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, wishing her a speedy recovery. Calling the incident "unfortunate" on Twitter, Mayawati pressed the Election Commission to "take the matter seriously and conduct a high-level inquiry."
The EC has responded to the 'attack' report submitted by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government calling it "sketchy." TMC leaders have alleged the incident is a "conspiracy" and that a high-level probe must be conducted into it. More here.
