Tribune News Service

New Delhi, October 24
Dismissing any threat to her government due to revolt by some BJP MLAs, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today ruled out any major expansion of her ministry, but said a couple of BJP legislators could be included any time.

She said senior BJP leader Lalji Tandon and his party colleagues had met her recently to demand a “proportionate” representation for their party in the coalition government.

On whether the dissident activity in the BJP will have its impact on her government, Ms Mayawati said “it is an internal problem of the BJP and the revolt of some BJP MLAs is not directed against my government.”
