The President's rule was imposed in UP on March 4.
The President's Rule in UP "may be revoked on the date or before the swearing-in" of BSP leader Mayawati as chief minister, said the cabinet recommendation, according to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pramod Mahajan.
He said after a meeting of the Cabinet that the decision was taken on the basis of the report of UP Governor Vishnukant Shastri on the possibility of formation of a stable government in the state.
After Mayawati met Shastri in Lucknow earlier in the day and staked claim to form government, the governor said: "I am prima facie convinced that the BSP-BJP alliance enjoys comfortable majority in the House and it can provide a stable government."
