Media shy Mayawati

NEW DELHI - Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati continues to shun the media as much as she avoids any direct contact with the public. A leading media baron-cum-celebrated journalist moved heaven and earth to get an appointment with Mayawati but to no avail.

While every other political ‘neta’ was more than ready to spend quality time with the renowned journalist, Mayawati not only refused to give an interview but even declined to meet him for a few minutes at the venue of one of her rallies in Uttar Pradesh.

‘She feels that if she meets one journalist, others would feel discriminated against,’ was the curt reply of a member of her inner coterie.
