Day after, Maya says she has ‘full faith’ in Ansari

A day after her criticism of Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari, BSP chief Mayawati on Thursday changed tune to say she had "respect" and "full faith" in the Chair and expressed hope that he will find ways for passage of the bill for quota in promotion.

Mayawati's remarks came after an assurance of "fullest cooperation" of the House by Prime Minister as also Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley to Ansari, who on Wednesday had expressed difficulty in continuing in a situation where he is attacked.

"I respect the Chair... I have full faith in the Chair that he will find a way to get the voice of the downtrodden heard," she said. Mayawati, who has been pushing a bill for SC/ST reservation in government job promotion, on Wednesday criticised Ansari for disruptions that were preventing the bill's passage.
