Lucknow, November 14: Amid fresh strains with Congress after the Firozabad Lok Sabha by-election, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today said his party will take a decision “at the right time” on the issue of support to the UPA.
“The party will look into the matter at the right time,” he said when asked whether SP will withdraw support from the UPA after Congress candidate Raj Babbar defeated Yadav’s daughter-in-law Dimple in the by-election, necessitated after her husband Akhilesh vacated the seat and retained Kannuj.
“We extended support to Congress to prevent BJP,” he said, parrying a direct reply to the question by reporters.
When pressed further, he said it is only six months of the UPA-II.
Accepting the defeat, Yadav alleged that Congress has spent crores of rupees in campaigning. “We are in the process of reviewing the reasons behind our performance,” he said.
