? Addressing a review meeting of BSP leaders here, she said that in the four states, for the betterment of weaker sections and Muslims, it is important that a coalition government which is obliged to work for the welfare of the people is in power rather than a strong and arrogant dispensation.

? According to a party statement, Mayawati said that with its presence, the BSP created a balance of power situation in many states, due to which the "political respect" of the Dalit community rose.

? But selfish people went after their own interest instead of the interest of the society and sided with casteist parties, she said.

? Assembly polls are likely to be held in October-November this year in the four states as well as Mizoram.
