Ajit closes his party’s doors on Mulayam Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh said Yadav should be worried about the fate of his own party

Terming former Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav as “anti-farmer”, Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh said Yadav should be worried about the fate of his own party, which has only 10 MLAs from western UP’s 25 districts.

He said the SP chief has not addressed any public meeting either in Bundelkhand or eastern UP in the last six months. Singh was reacting to Yadav’s statement asking Singh to merge the RLD with his party, SP. “Yadav’s desperation is understandable. I have addressed more than two dozen meetings in eastern and Bundelkhand regions of the state in the last two months. The RLD is getting good response in these two regions because of its old association with my father Choudhari Charan Singh,” Singh said.

“I had said that the doors of my party are open for both the SP and the Congress. It does not mean that we have any application for poll alliance,” Singh said. The RLD has already made it clear that it would have no pact with either the BSP or the BJP, he added. “If Yadav wishes to join the RLD now, we would not take him,” he added.
