New Delhi, February 25: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today sought to wean away Sharad Pawar from the UPA telling the Agriculture Minister that he better realise he was being made scapegoat by the Congress on price rise.
Yadav, participating in the discussion on price rise in the Lok Sabha, also made overtures to NDA convenor and JD(U) President Sharad Yadav urging him to quit the Opposition alliance.
“I want to caution Pawar. The Congress has been telling its cadre that you are responsible for price rise. This is the message the Congress has sent to its district committees. Come out of the UPA and we will work together,” the SP chief said.
He said it was the collective responsibility of the Centre to control price rise and not that of the Agriculture Minister alone.
