Fresh rumblings were heard on Saturday in Samajwadi Party over the style of functioning of its leader Amar Singh when two more party MPs raised a banner of revolt demanding his expulsion to ensure that the party fared well in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Close on the heels of the expulsion of the party MP from Azamgarh Ramakant Yadav for levelling serious allegations against Singh, two more MPs, Bhalchandra Yadav and Balram Yadav, shot off separate letters to the chief Mulayam Singh Yadav urging him to get rid of Amar Singh in the larger interest of the party.
In his four-page letter to Mulayam Singh Yadav, the MP from Khalilabad Bhalchandra Yadav said that whatever issues the expelled party MP from Azamgarh Ramakant Yadav had raised were shared by most of the party leaders and workers.
Bhalchandra Yadav said in the letter that the "active role" of SP general secretary Amar Singh was becoming unbearable among partymen and people were often heard saying that the SP was being run by film stars and scam-tainted capitalists. He said party workers often questioned the "mysterious activities" of Singh and said that during the days of Lohia and Charan Singh, such controversial characters were not seen.
Asked to comment on the letter, Amar Singh said that he had not seen the letter and would give his comments only after going through it. Bureau Report
