New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Amar
Singh, who met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee late last
night, on Friday termed it as a courtesy call and said it
should not be politicised.
"I have worked closely with Pranabda during my Congress
days. It was a personal visit and nobody should see any
politics in it," he said here.
Ever since Singh resigned from key party posts earlier
this month, there have been speculations about his future
course of action. Though he continues to remain an ordinary
member of SP and also a Rajya Sabha member, there are talks
about his moving towards Congress or NCP.
Though both the parties have denied such reports, his
meeting with Mukherjee at the latter's residence around 11.30
pm last night, again stoked rumours of his future, though
Singh said there was no politics behind the meeting.
