New Delhi: It's a historic day for Indian politics - a Dalit woman took oath as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh after winning an unprecedented social mandate.
After taking oath as Chief Minister, Mayawati on Sunday gave a stern message to her opponents that the BSP government would not brook communal violence and withdraw security of criminal elements and came out in support of reservations for economically backward sections.
In a clear reference to the previous Mulayam Singh Yadav's government, she announced that all the decisions taken by it since February after the elections were declared have been scrapped and a probe ordered into it.
"All investigations into these decisions will be done without any political vendetta," PTI quoted Mayawati as saying.
The Industrial Development Council set up by the previous government will be scrapped and a new policy evolved.
Her top priority will be to establish an injustice-free, fear-free, crime-free, corruption-free and development oriented government.
"Law and order will be established. The life and property of people belonging to all religions will be protect and nobody will be allowed to indulge in violence in the name of religion," she added.
"Goonda tax will not be allowed to be extracted as was done during the SP government," Mayawati said adding that a special drive will be launched to track down criminal elements and end the jungle raj.
"Security given to criminal elements will be withdrawn and they will be behind bars where they should be," she said.
In keeping with her new social engineering, she said she favoured reservation for poor among the upper castes along with the weaker sections.
Ending a 14-year era of coalition government in the politically-turbulent state of Uttar Pradesh in a historic win, BSP supremo Mayawati was sworn in as the 40th Chief Minister of the state on Sunday.
She will now head a jumbo 50-member state Cabinet.
Along with the BSP supremo, 19 cabinet ministers, 21 Ministers of State with independent charge and nine Ministers of State were also administered the oath of office and secrecy.
