Sunil Sigh urges MSY to assume lok Dal

Tuesday, 31 January 2017 | PNS | Lucknow

Elated with Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulyam Singh Yadav’s call to his supporters to contest elections against Congress candidates, lok Dal president Sunil Singh has urged the former to take over the party.

 “I had in the past invited Netaji to take over lok Dal. Now it seems that my dreams are coming true. Mulayam Singh is a very senior leader of the country and he has all the rights to lead lok Dal. It will be my honour if Mulayam Singh Yadav takes over the reins of the party,” Singh said in lucknow on Monday. 

The lok Dal president had earlier created a flutter in political circles alleging that Mulayam Singh Yadav was being kept under house arrest in lucknow. 

Son of senior Jat leader late Rajendra Singh, Sunil was a close associate of Chaudhary Charan Singh and after his death managed to get hold of the lok Dal’s election symbol of  `farmer ploughing land’ after a long legal battle with Charan Singh’s son Ajit Singh.  

The lok Dal president said that his party has already fielded 130 candidates in UP Assembly elections so far. Of the candidates, there are 20-25 candidates of the SP, of which seven are sitting MlAs and were denied ticket by Akhilesh Yadav.
