Conspiracy to break SP has failed: Amar Singh

SAMAJWADI PARTY leader Amar Singh on Saturday hailed his party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav’s decision to revoke expulsion of his son Akhilesh Yadav and brother Ram Gopal as the right thing and said the conspiracy to break the party and the family has “failed”.

“Mulayam Singhji has done the right thing. He has given a message through his decision that he will not let either the Samajwadi Party or his family break till he is alive. The conspiracy of the people who wanted the party and the family to break has failed,” he said.

Singh clarified that he does not want to break the party.

Congratulating Akhilesh and party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav, he said: “Those who had this misconception that I will try to break the party, I would like to tell them that I am not here to break the party. Instead, I want to keep it united... If somebody is still hurt due to me, I want to tell that I am ready to sacrifice myself to ensure unity in SP pariwar and the workers.”

“We have to fight the communal forces and ensure that secular front is victorious in the upcoming elections,” he added.

Earlier in the day, when Amar Singh was asked about the crisis in the party, he had said: “The foundation of this party was laid by Mulayam Singh with much dedication and hard work. I have said this earlier and will say it now, that Mulayam Singh is the chief of SP and the father of Akhilesh Yadav as well.”
