TRS to back Maya as first dalit PM: Rao

With less than a week left for the trust vote in Parliament, the TRS on Wednesday declared that it will be the first party to back Mayawati for Prime Ministership.

"If and when the situation comes, we will be the first party to present Mayawati's name for the post of dalit woman Prime Minister. Any progressive party will be happy to support her," TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao told NDTV.

Rao is slated to meet Mayawati in Delhi on Saturday ahead of the July 22 confidence vote in the Lok Sabha.
