New Delhi, January 15: Taking credit for leading a social revolution despite belonging to the backward strata of society, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, in a veiled reference, has said she is a far bigger leader than Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

Without taking Gandhi's name, the BSP chief in her autobiography Mere Sangharshmay Jeevan Evam BPS Movement Ka Safarnama (Volume 3) has said unlike those women ‘who have inherited political legacy’, she has been a crusader of a pioneering revolution for social change.

In an almost self praising tone, she has said there are very few instances in international history, where women belonging to a socially backward strata of society have taken up the mantle of leading a social revolution.

Citing the example of her inclusion in Newsweek's global list of top eight women, Mayawati said it is very rarely that people belonging to the lower strata of society have been eulogised.
