Backing UPA in 2008 a ‘Blunder: Mulayam

SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has said that it was a “blunder” to extend support to the UPA government in 2008 and that those who supported the Congress have been “betrayed”.

“We feel that our decision to support you last year was a blunder,” Mulayam said while concluding his Lok Sabha speech on demands for the grants for the home ministry.

The SP leader said, “Those who have supported the Congress government…they have already been betrayed by the Congress.”

Singh said that the Congress-led government had the support both of the SP and its rival BSP, adding, “It (support from the rival parties) will not work for more days.”

“The Samajwadi Party and the BSP also cannot work together,” he said.

“We supported your government, when the Left parties withdrew their support last year. Now, you are enjoying the support of the same people who joined the Left parties to push you out. It cannot happen,” Singh said.
