It was a turning point in the politics of north India when the Jat leader of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, Mahinder Singh Tikait, apologised to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati for making casteist remarks against her. After making one provocative remark after another against the Dalit leader, Tikait finally capitulated, surrendered and apologised. But not before Mayawati flexed muscle and sent her cops after him. So can Dalits can finally look upper castes in the eye? CNN-IBN debates.
"It was a slip of the tongue," says BKU leader who surrendered on Wednesday.

Ajit Singh and Tikait are expected to hold more anti-Mayawati panchayats.
