Ballia (UP), May 15: After helping the UPA to breeze through the cut motions in the Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today said his party would continue to extend “issue-based” support to the Congress-led coalition.
“Samajwadi Party will continue to give issue-based support to the UPA government though on people’s issues it will continue to register its protest,” Yadav told reporters.
SP with 21 MPs in the Lok Sabha had bailed out the UPA during voting on the cut motions on April 27 by staging a walkout.
Asked about chances of evolving a Third Front, Yadav said as of now he was not making any efforts in this regard and has not talked with any political party. SP was a key ally of the erstwhile United Front government at the Centre.
