High caste ministers avoid touching Maya's feet

Newly appointed Brahmin and Muslim ministers in Uttar Pradesh Sunday discreetly avoided touching Chief Minister Mayawati's feet even as most of the other ministers did so to seek her blessings.

Ms. Mayawati was sworn in at a simple ceremony at the Raj Bhavan. A 49-member Ministry, including 19 Ministers of Cabinet rank, also assumed office. The caste composition of the Cabinet is: three Brahmins, one Muslim, one Thakur, one Bhumihar, one Vaishya, four Scheduled Castes and eight OBCs.
