New Delhi, February 02: Moments after being expelled from Samajwadi Party, Amar Singh today struck a defiant note ruling out quitting his Rajya Sabha seat and termed as baseless reports about his cosying up to Congress, NCP and BSP.
“I have earned the (Rajya Sabha) seat and not got this as alms. I will not quit the seat. Even Mulayam Singh Yadav had not asked me to do so when I had spoken to him a few days ago,” Singh told reporters here.
He was answering a specific question whether he will give up his Rajya Sabha seat after his expulsion from the party.
“I express my gratitude towards Mulayam Singh Yadav (for the expulsion). I will not say anything against him. I have great respect for him whether I am with the party or not,” said.
