Lucknow, Feb 4 (ANI): Expelled Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders Amar Singh and Jaya Prada on Thursday said there is no politics behind their resignations from the party.
Amar Singh said: "I have no grudges for Mulayam Singh, and there is no politics behind the resignations."
Amar Singh further said, "I wrote blogs inspired by Amitabh Bachchan and all Mulayam Singh''s questions have been answered in my blog."
Further taking a dig at Samajwadi Party, Amar Singh said the party is putting the blame on him for spoiling its reputation, but it was he who got Mulayam''s son Akhilesh Yadav married.
On Sanjay Dutt leaving the party because of him, Amar Singh said it was Mulayam Singh Yadav, who brought him to the party.
SP General Secretary Mohan Singh had on February 2 announced the party''s decision to expel Amar Singh and Lok Sabha member cine star Jaya Prada from the party for violating party norms and spoiling the reputation of the party.
"Some party members have been speaking against Samajwadi Party in the last few months. They (Amar Singh and Jaya Prada) have been expelled because the party''s image was suffering because of them. They were trying to split the party," Mohan Singh said.
Amar Singh had welcomed the move describing it as a blessing for both of them. However, he called the move as dictatorial.
"I had asked for a sick leave from the party for 14 years of work to rest. The party cannot function in a dictatorial and feudal system," Amar Singh said.
"I have been called mad, shameless. This is what I got in return for 14 years of service. Had that not happened, I would have been taking a rest," Amar Singh added referring to the remarks made by Mohan Singh.
Amar Singh further said, "I will not say anything to Mulayam Singhji. He has blessed me. It is a blessing in disguise. He has liberated me."
Amar Singh had resigned from all party posts on January 6 citing health grounds. He was also upset with some members of the party particularly, Ram Gopal Yadav, for publicly criticizing him.
According to reports, the decision was taken following a rift between Yadav and Amar Singh after the party''s poor show in its stronghold, Uttar Pradesh, winning just 20 seats out of 80, in the last general elections. (ANI)
