LUCKNOW/DELHI: On a day, his son and UP CM Akhilesh Yadav and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi showcased the SP-Congress alliance with a road show in Lucknow, SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav struck a discordant note, rejecting the tie-up and refusing to campaign for the new political alignment.Talking to a news agency in Delhi, Mulayam said SP was capable of winning the election and forming a government on its own and there was no need for any alliance. “We contested the elections alone and we got majority and formed the government,” Mulayam said referring to the 2012 assembly polls.He said the alliance was not required. “I have always opposed the Congress which has ruled for so long but has done nothing for the development of the nation,” Mulayam said adding: “I am totally against the alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress and will not campaign for this tie-up in the elections.”Exressing his disappointment over the SP giving away 105 seats to the Congress, Mulayam said this arrangement will hit the SP functionaries who had been working in these assembly seats with the hope of contesting the elections. “SP leaders who lost their seats as part of the alliance deal, what will they do for the next five years?” Mulayam said.His rejection of the alliance might create confusion among his die-hard supporters in the minority community over their support to ths combine. SP spokeperson Madhu Gupta said she was confident that SP chief Akhilesh Yadav would take up the issue with the party founder and convince him that the alliance was important to demolish the communal forces.
