Lucknow, Aug 17: In a veiled attack on senior Uttar Pradesh Congress leader Salman Khurshid, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today said that the importance of his party could not be undermined and the next government at the Centre would not be formed at the support without its support.
"Those leaders who called us a regional party should remember that our support would be of paramount importance to form next government in New Delhi," he said addressing a convention of SP MPs, MLAs and other senior leaders here.
"No one should take us lightly.....We are no chinti (ant)......We have shown our political might and will prove it as and when required in future too," Yadav said.
He was referring to Khurshid's statement terming SP as a regional party and an "ant".
Accusing the Maywati government in Uttar Pradesh of being "corrupt and inefficient", Yadav also asked party workers to get ready to remove it from office.
The beginning of the campaign in this regard would be made from August 25 when the frontal organisations of the SP would stage demonstrations all over the state to oppose the "autocratic style" of functioning of the chief minister, he said.
Asking party workers to resolve their differences, he said, "the party suffered during last assembly elections in the state due to intra-party fights. The past mistake should not be repeated now”.
Senior party leaders, including Beni Prasad Verma, Shiv Pal Singh Yadav, state president Ram Saran Das and Akhilesh Singh, also addressed the workers.
