The Third Mayawati ministry was formed on 3 May 2002 in the state of Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Mayawati as the Chief Minister. This government was formed after the 2002 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election with outside support from the Bharatiya Janata Party.[4]
The ministry lasted until 29 August 2003 when Mayawati resigned, leading to the formation of the Mulayam Singh Yadav government.[4]
Background
After the 2002 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, no party secured a clear majority. The Bahujan Samaj Party, led by Mayawati, formed a coalition government with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party[5], the Rashtriya Lok Dal, Akhil Bharatiya Loktantrik Congress, several independents, and smaller allied groups. This broader coalition enabled Mayawati to demonstrate majority support in the Assembly.
Mayawati was sworn in as Chief Minister on 3 May 2002, beginning her third term in office. The coalition ministry included representatives from the BSP, BJP, RLD, and other supporting groups, reflecting a politically diverse alliance formed to secure legislative stability..[5]
The government collapsed in August 2003 after withdrawal of support by the BJP, leading to her resignation.[6]
Council of Ministers
The council of ministers consisted of members from:
- Bahujan Samaj Party
- Bharatiya Janata Party
- Rashtriya Lok Dal
- Akhil Bharatiya Loktantrik Congress
