The Fourth Mayawati ministry was the Council of Ministers in the 15th Uttar Pradesh Assembly, headed by Chief Minister Mayawati.
The ministry was formed after the 2007 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, in which the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), under Mayawati's leadership, secured an absolute majority by winning 206 out of 403 seats.[1] She took oath as the Chief Minister on 13 May 2007.[2][3]
Background
The state cabinet of Uttar Pradesh with Mayawati as the Chief Minister was sworn in on 13 May 2007 after the 2007 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. The swearing-in ceremony took place at Kanshi Ram Smarak Sthal in Lucknow.[4]
The Bahujan Samaj Party secured an absolute majority in the 2007 assembly elections, winning 206 out of 403 seats in the legislative assembly.[5] The ministry was formed solely by the Bahujan Samaj Party without coalition support, making it the first single-party majority government in Uttar Pradesh after several years of coalition politics.[6]
The council of ministers included representatives from Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, Muslims, and upper-caste communities as part of Mayawati's "social engineering" strategy.[7] The portfolios of the cabinet ministers were announced shortly after the oath-taking ceremony.[8]
