New Delhi, January 17: Taking pot shot at BSP supremo Mayawati for indicating that she was a far bigger leader than Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, party leader and Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi on Thursday said it was for the people to decide.

“I would not like to comment on this. It is democracy and everyone has a right to say whatever they feel. But the final decision is in the hands of the people of the country,” Dasmunsi told reporters in New Delhi.

He was replying to questions on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s virtual suggestion that she was a far bigger leader than Sonia Gandhi and would like to become the first Prime Minister from the oppressed class.

In an autobiographical book, Mayawati did not take Gandhi’s name but said “inheriting a political legacy” was a different thing and leading a “social change” was a unique “revolutionary mission”.
