Lucknow, Apr 14: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati today likened herself to god saying she is like an 'avtaar' who would end the misdeeds of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. "Lord Krishna was born to kill Kans, Ram killed demon king Ravana. Similarly, I have taken birth to end the misdeeds of Mulayam," she said addressing a rally in Ambedkar grounds here.

Dressed in peach-coloured salwar kameez with diamond earring, Mayawati said, "I will expose Mulayam and the beginning has been made today."


As the temperature soared and touched 43 degree celcius, the milling crowd heard her words with awe. The contrast was strange--while Mayawati addressed party workers for over an hour-and-a-half with split ac spewing cold air, the people remained in the ground with no shade over their heads.

The heat took its toll as many people fainted and were seen taken to the make-shift hospital at the Ambedkar ground.
