Mayawati to expand ministry soon

Anand Mohan Sahay in Patna

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati said on Tuesday that she would expand her Cabinet soon.

Addressing a press conference in Patna, Mayawati said the expansion would give a chance to more BSP members to enter the ministry.

But she refused to divulge more about the proposed expansion.

Mayawati was in Patna to attend a meeting of BSP cadres, the first after last month's split in the Bihar unit of the party.

Addressing party workers, Mayawati said, "I am confident that my government will complete the five-year term without any trouble."

Refuting media reports about 'soured relations' with the BJP, she said, "Relations with our alliance partner BJP and its allies are good."

She claimed that her earlier alliance with the BJP 'soured' because of the 'main trouble maker' (former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh) Kalyan Singh.

"BJP realised late about Kalyan Singh's trouble maker role. Now he is no more in BJP and our relationship is likely to last long," she said.
