Lucknow: Amid growing voices of resentment
within the party, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav
today said it was an internal matter of the family and would
be sorted out through discussion.
"Yeh Samajwadi pariwar ki baat hai, hum aapas mein baat
kar lenge, akhbaron ke madhyam se baat nahi karenge (It`s an
internal matter of the Samajwadi family. We will discuss it
internally and not through newspapers)," Yadav told reporters.
The SP leader also said any protest was an indicator of
his stature.
"Any protest is an indicator of my stature. If there is
no protest then it means that I have lost my stature," he said
when asked to comment on resentment within the party.
While refusing to comment on party MP Jaya Prada`s
reported statement that one family was responsible for Amar
Singh`s condition and she would protest this, Yadav said the
SP was moving ahead and was not paying heed to any statement
at this juncture.
"We have moved ahead and it is evident from our January
19 agitation," he said.
He said as of now the party was in a state of shock due
to the demise of senior leader Janeshwar Mishra, whom he had
termed as Chotte Lohia. "But I have asked the party workers
not to get disappointed and continue struggle till the last
minute."
