‘Mulayam took long to recognise Amar’s true face’
February 5th, 2010 - 10:07 pm ICT by IANSLucknow, Feb 5 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav was delayed in recognising the true face of Amar Singh, but the latter’s expulsion would only strengthen the party, SP general secretary Mohan Singh said Friday.
“Mulayamji took a long time to recognize the real face of Amar Singh… but still it’s not too late for us,” Singh told reporters in Deoria, some 300 km from Lucknow.
“We are sure that his (Amar Singh’s) departure would help the party’s revival and will strengthen it,” he added, referring to Amar Singh’s expulsion from the party Feb 2.
Singh even went to the extent of saying that Amar Singh’s kidney problems were not because of burden of work, but his “lavish and luxurious lifestyle”.
Amar Singh had last year undergone a kidney transplant in Singapore.
“No one could claim that kidney fails due to work load. It all happens due to extra-luxurious lifestyle. And the same was the case of Amar Singh,” said Singh.
Clarifying his party’s stand on the English language, Singh said: “We have been misquoted and misunderstood… We are not against English, instead we have only voiced objections against the English mentality.”
Singh, however, did not elaborate on what he meant by the “English mentality”.
