After sharing dias with SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav earlier this month, former party leader Amar Singh on Tuesday had a closed-door meeting with the Samajwadi president again at his residence.
‘Amar Singh had a meeting with SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav at his Vikramaditya Marg residence this (Tuesday) morning,’ party sources said here.
Later, talking to reporters at his residence in Gomti Nagar about his meeting with Mulayam, which lasted about an hour, Singh said that it was not a big issue.
‘Hungama hai kyon barpa, chori to nahi ki hai, sirf mulaqat hi to ki hai (why there is so much hullaballoo, I have not committed any theft). I just had a meeting,’ he said.
The former SP leader said that geography can change, but not the history.
‘I have family relations with Mulayam Singh, Shivpal and Akhilesh. These relations are not political or practical. It is a different matter that we are in politics,’ he said.
It is the first meeting between Mulayam and Amar after the latter was expelled from SP in February 2010. Before this, Amar had shared dias with Yadav on August 5 during the inaugural function of Janeshwar Mishra park in Gomti Nagar.
Though he was invited by Mulayam, the Rajya Sabha MP had said it would be ‘extremely wrong’ to add ‘political connotation’ to his attending the programme.
