And now Amar Singh sings Maya tune
News 24 Desk
New Delhi: Ailing but alert Amar Singh predicates Mayawati retaining
her control over power in UP post forthcoming assembly elections,even
though as he himself says, " I wish Congress form the government in
UP." In an interview with Ms. Anurradha Prasad for her weekly show
'Aamne-Samne',the former strongman of Samajwadi Party, Amar Singh says
that despite all out effort to grab the power in the last elections,
Samajwadi Party able to muster barely 142 seats. " That was the time
when SP had leaders from all castes and communities and also getting
support from stars like Sanjay Dutt. The situation has changed since
then," he felt. 'Will your Lok Manch support BSP in Uttar Pradesh ?'
"Of course, I support Mayawati as she has supported our cause in
taking the lead in carving out Purvanchal from Uttar Pradesh", Amar
Singh said, adding , " Even she took the lead in this regard purely on
political reasons, she did what we really wanted for the overall
development of backward Purvanchal region." Replying to another
question, Amar Singh said even though Mayawati has not given him time
for a meeting, he still feels that BSP has an edge over SP as there is
no charge against her (Mayawati) other than corruption. " This is not
possible for Congress to pin her down on this ground after it is also
under soup due to series of scams like 2G and CWG. 'Surveys predicting
photo-finish between SP and BSP in UP ?' Citing the results of
previous election surveys, Amar Singh said that in the last assembly
elections of Tamil Nadu, surveys predicated close fight between DMK
and AIADMK. However, those who did the survey eat the dust. 'Who would
be the Chief Minister of UP if Samajwadi Party gets the majority?' " I
believe that Mulayam Singh would give way to Akhilesh Yadav to become
the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. I feel there is nothing wrong if
he does that after all Congress too wants to anoint Rahul Gandhi as
the leader of the party. Sharad Pawar also feels the same way for her
daughter,Supriya Sule," Amar Singh told us. 'Will he rejoin Samajwadi
Party ?' " I can beg on the street, but it is unthinkable for me to
join SP once again," he made it clear. 'Did you ever thought that one
day you would have to stay behind Tihar Jail?' And taking a gentle dig
on the court order, Amar Singh said, " While all the accused in the
cash for vote case were granted the bail on a cash surety of Rs 1.50
lakh to Rs 2 lakh, I got the bail after surety of whopping Rs.1.50
crore. And it is true that I worked overtime along with Delhi Chief
Minister Sheela Dikshit to get the support of MPs from North-Eastern
states in order to save the government." You can catch up Amar Singh
in Aamne-samne at 8.30 pm on Saturday (December 7) and Sunday
(December 8) on News24.
