U.P. will abide by court verdict, says Mayawati

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI JULY 7. The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mayawati, today asserted that her Government would abide by the court verdict on the Ayodhya issue if the groups concerned failed to resolve the matter through talks.

Addressing a rally in the capital organised by the Bahuhan Samaj Party's Delhi unit to felicitate her on becoming the Chief Minister for the third time, she hoped that the two parties involved in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute would hold negotiations to find an amicable solution. "If that does not happen, my Government will abide by the court verdict.''

Justifying her party's decision to join hands with the BJP to form the Government in U.P., the BSP general secretary who is also in-charge of the party's Delhi unit said under the present circumstances, it was the best possible option. "During his recent Lucknow visit, the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, assured me of financial assistance, but till now nothing has happened. If we fail to receive help, it might take another two or three years to come out of the financial crisis,'' she said.
