New Delhi, December 23: Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today termed as “biggest mistake” the decision to save UPA-I government last year over the Indo-US nuclear deal and said had the ruling dispensation collapsed, it would have brought a big change in the Indian polity.
“We were not trying to bring down the government. It was the Left Front (which was doing so). We saved the government and it was our biggest mistake,” Yadav said while addressing a conference here to express solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
He said had the government collapsed in July, 2008, it would have brought a “big change” in the Indian polity.
Yadav claimed that his party men were not in favour of saving the government after Left Front withdrew support. “But some members of my household and junior leaders in the hierarchy said we should support UPA,” he added.
