Ajit Singh invites Amar to join RLD

Lucknow

Jan. 28: Rashtriya Lok Dal president, Choudhury Ajit Singh on Thursday said that former SP general secretary Amar Singh was welcome to join the Rashtriya Lok Dal. However, he added that Mr Singh’s inclusion into the party would only be on issues related to farmer welfare.

"If Amar Singh is a well-wisher of farmers, the RLD would be happy to get his company," the RLD president told reporters here. He added that the RLD needed the support of like-minded parties on issues like land acquisition and price hike.

Mr Ajit Singh further said that Mr Amar Singh, like RLD, was a true well-wisher of sugarcane farmers and the RLD would welcome him if he wanted to support our agitation on separate statehood and against land acquisition.

The RLD chief alleged that central government was scared of price hike issue and the Prime Minister was delaying to call a meeting of chief ministers on the issue.

The RLD is the first party to have extended an invitation to Mr Amar Singh after the Samajwadi Party accepted the latter’s resignation from all party posts on January 17.
