NEW DELHI: BSP's thumping electoral victory in Uttar Pradesh is the triumph of party's ideology, BSP chief Mayawati said on Friday.

"It will be after 14 years that a single party government will be formed in the state," Mayawati said at a press conference after her party's stunning victory in the Assembly elections.

She said the victory of her party had showed that the people of UP have full faith in democracy. She thanked the upper castes and Muslims for voting in large numbers in favour of the party.

Expressing her gratitude to people for their support, Mayawati paid tribute to her mentor and BSP founder Kanshi Ram and architect of the Constitution B R Ambedkar and said her party would provide a government that would root out injustice and crime.

"SP government in Uttar Pradesh will provide a government that will root out corruption and criminalisation, fear and ensure development."

"I will ensure a society free from corruption, fearlessness, crime and provide development," BSP chief Mayawati told a press conference as her party captured majority in the state assembly.

Mayawati fired the first salvo against arch rival Mulayam Singh Yadav saying all illegal actions during the Samajwadi Party regime would be probed. She said the BSP government will probe all the "illegal actions" of the Mulayam Singh Yadav government.

She said the probe would be done not out of "political vendetta" but in the interest of the people.

"I don't believe in politics of vendetta. Whatever appropriate action is needed will be taken," Mayawati said in reply to questions.

Asked to comment on Yadav, she said sarcastically that "why should I comment on a person who is already down and out. The common people have given him the biggest punishment. What can be more effective than that," she added.

She said the opposition parties needed to introspect on their role and that the BSP has given a befitting reply to their canard and misinformation.

Mayawati also said a high-level inquiry will be ordered into the destroying of government papers in the office of outgoing UP Parliamentary Affairs minister Azam Khan.

She said she had already spoken to the DGP about the incident.

The BSP chief also commended the role of the Election Commission for holding free and fair elections.
