The <b>BSP supremo has done her LLB and BEd but can milk buffalos and do house work with equal ease,</b> her proud parents told the national daily.

While Mayawati’s nine other siblings revere their elder sister for her accomplishments, they also say that years ago a sadhu had predicted that she will make a mark in the world of politics.

<b>With fighting spirit in her blood, Mayawati, whose grandfather was a soldier who had fought in Italy in World War I, is all set to take on the likes of the Yadavs once again and this her family feels is just the beginning.</b>

<b>“She is a fighter, her grandfather was a soldier who fought in World War I. She has all his qualities and we always encouraged her. In our family, girls were never discriminated against,”</b> The Indian Express quoted her father as saying.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> <!--emo&:cool--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/specool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='specool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
