Not launching any party, says Mulayam Singh Yadav

Lucknow, Sep 25 (IBNS): Belying wide speculations, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav said he has no plan at present launch a new party by splitting away the Samajwadi Party.

Mulayam said this at a press conference, where he criticised his son Akhilesh, who now holds the reins of the party after leading a virtual coup against his father, once the undisputed supremo of the SP.

Speaking about his son, Akhilesh, who was also the UP CM, Mulayam said: "I do not agree with Akhilesh's decision."

Mulayam had earlier disapproved of Akhilesh's decision, then as CM, of forming an alliance with the Congress during the 2017 assembly elections in the state.

Later, the SP-Congress alliance failed miserably as the BJP bagged an overwhelming majority of 325 out of 403 seats to form the government.

However, he stated that all Samajwadis (members of SP) need to come together when he criticised the BJP-led government in the state for degrading law and order situation.

Criticising the central government, Mulayam said: "The Modi government failed to keep promises in three years after coming to power."
