And the offer comes all the way from Europe.  Wikileaks\u2019 Julian Assange is <a title=\"Julian Assange takes a dig at Mayawati\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dnaindia.com\/india\/report_julian-assange-takes-a-dig-at-mayawati_1584020\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">offering to get her<\/a> brand new British sandals in exchange for political asylum in India.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Assange\u2019s Wikileaks had mentioned <a title=\"India's Mayawati 'sent jet to collect shoes'\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-south-asia-14784228\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">how a private jet<\/a> was sent to Mumbai to get her a pair of sandals.  She has many vices and is obsessed about power and her being assassinated.  But this one point particularly pinched Mayawati.<\/p>\n<p>So, our lady got ballistic.  <a title=\"Put Julian Assange in Agra mental hospital: Mayawati\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dnaindia.com\/india\/report_mayawati-slams-wikileaks-report_1583900\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">She retorted<\/a> that Assange is mad and should be hosted in Agra mental asylum.  Asylum, Assange thinks is good\u2026 but of the political variety instead. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI would be happy to accept asylum, political asylum, in India, a nation I love. In return I will bring Mayawati a range of the finest british footwear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There you go.  For the lady who has a fetish with her statues, power, money and now footwear; having British footwear to stride down the halls of rotten UP Assembly buildings will be a great sight! <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Mayawati not only smells controversy, but she thinks Julian Assange, the original \u201cAryan Brahmin\u201d that he is from Europe \u2013 is showing his \u201cAnti-Dalit\u201d colors now.  It is interesting how in the minds of these so-called Dalit leaders, everything becomes a \u201cDalit issue\u201d. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is a conspiracy to defame the honest party workers and to create an environment of distrust within the party.  This is indicative of their anti-Dalit mentality\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last I checked, no one in Europe or US or even Urban India, for that matter, gives a damn about targeting Dalits.  Given her extreme corruption, it would be maniacal to term targeting her specifically as targeting Dalits.  She is as great a caricature \u2013 specially for Dalit leadership \u2013 as such hypocrtiical leaders can come.  She is a disgrace to India, disgrace to Dalits and disgrace to womanhood.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayawati has a special offer in her inbox.
