Allahabad, November 14: Expelled SP leader Amar Singh today accused party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav of having turned his outfit into a “family-owned business”.
“What do I say about Mulayam Singh? He has turned the party into a family-owned business and got rid of people like me who were loyal but with whom he had no blood ties,” he said.
“This has enabled him to drag all his family members into politics, though often with disastrous results,” Singh, who was the party’s national general secretary until his expulsion earlier this year, told reporters here.
The Rajya Sabha MP was speaking on the sidelines of a function where he was accompanied by his close confidante and actress-turned-politician Jaya Prada.
Singh said that Yadav had fielded his daughter-in-law Dimple in the by-elections for Firozabad Lok Sabha seat “despite the fact that we had cautioned him against it”.
