Mulayam Says SP Will Continue Issue-based Support to UPA
After supporting the UPA on cut motions in Lok Sabha, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has said that his party will continue to extend ‘issue-based’ support to the Congress-led coalition, reports said.
“Samajwadi Party will continue to give issue-based support to the UPA government though on people’s issues it will continue to register its protest,” Yadav was quoted as saying while talking to reporters.
Responding to a query about probabilities of reviving a Third Front, he said that as of now he was not making an attempt in this regard and not spoken to any political party, reports said.
The SP chief parried query about re-nomination of sitting SP member in the Rajya Sabha Jaya Bachchan , saying that party’s parliamentary board decide such matters and it will meet on May 30, said reports.
In response to another question, Yadav ruled out return of Amar Singh to the party fold saying, “Amar chapter of the party has come to an end.”
Snubbing the Mayawati government in the state, the SP chief said that the imposition of President’s rule was the only solution to the prevailing problems in the state, reports said.
“There is a Constitutional crisis in the state. The government does not take action even on the letters written by the Governor. A majority of ministers in the government have criminal background and the law and order situation is dismal,” Yadav was quoted as saying.
The SP chief termed as an eyewash the action initiated by the chief minister against criminals in her party and asked her to release the list of those against whom she has taken action so far.
