This refers to the 76th birthday celebrations of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. That there were around one lakh guests for Mr Yadav’s birthday celebrations, confirms the blatant extravaganza of the party. Influential political outfits have never hesitated in spending public money and utilising Government mechanism for political or personal achievements.
The Opposition’s castigation that the event was a wasteful expenditure of public funds and a cruel joke of the poor, is apparently rational.
