New Delhi: SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav`s
efforts to broker peace between sulking Amar Singh and Ram
Gopal Yadav today received a setback with Singh conveying his
inability to attend the party`s cultural festival at Saifai by
posting an open letter on his personal blog.
Yadav was expected to talk to Amar Singh and Ram Gopal
at Saifai where the entire party leadership has gathered for
its annual programme.
In the blog Singh said: "Since Ram Gopal Yadav described
me as mentally sick, after this public humiliation it would
not be appropriate for me to attend the Saifai Mahotsav".
"Respected Netaji, I had tried to contact you and
(Mulayam`s son) Akhilesh over phone. Since we were unable to
talk over phone, I was forced to send you this message through
my blog," Singh said in the letter titled: "A message for
respected Netaji".
He said that he was not mentally but physically ill,
which prompted him to "commit the crime of seeking leave. You
may punish me in any manner..."
Singh further wrote that going by the recent turn of
events, "I get this feeling that if something good happens
then that credit goes to somebody else, while if things go
wrong, then immediately I am blamed".
