Despite the 1995 unpleasant guest house fallout with Mulayam Singh Yadav, she had taken the "tough" decision to join hands with the the Samajwadi Party, she said. The people and the media would want to know why she was campaigning for Mulayam and the alliance despite the "June 2, 1995, guest house kaand (episode)", she said. What Mayawati referred to as the "guest house kaand", started on June 1, 1995. That day, then Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam was informed that ally BSP would withdraw support from his government. The next day, when Mayawati was meeting BSP legislators in a state guest house, Samajwadi leaders and supporters entered the premises and vandalised the property.
