Mumbai, Dec 18: In view of forthcoming 2012 state Assembly polls, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Sunday, Dec 18 said that that 27 percent quota of OBC should be increased by making constitutional amendment if backward Muslims are included in it.

Addressing a 'Muslim, Kshatriya and Vaishya Mahasammelan meeting', Mayawati said "It made promise after promise but gave nothing (other) than assurances.

Several riots have taken place in Meerut and Moradabad (in Uttar Pradesh), Bhagalpur (Bihar), Mumbai, Bharatpur (Rajasthan), it had deep impact on the Muslim psyche."

Mayawati also accused Bharatiya Janata Party for the Babri mosque demolition at Ayodhya in Dec 1992. She further said that her government has been doing various development works for Muslims.
