Senior Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh denied all the allegations against him that he was trying to destroy the party and said that Akhilesh Yadav is a fantastic Chief Minister but yet to become a good mass leader. “As Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is absolutely fantastic. As a first time administrator his focus on development, agenda for development, is mind-boggling,” Amar Singh said at a programme in Kolkata on Monday.
“I am not saying he is not a mass leader, but it takes time to become a mass leader. He is still very young. Blending of organisational skill and experience of Mulayam Singh and youth face of Akhilesh is very necessary,” Singh said.
Amar Singh, who was accused by Akhilesh camp of trying to demolish the party, thanked SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and his brother Shivpal Yadav, the state party chief, for standing by him and described Mulayam as the ‘core’ and ‘father’ of the Samajwadi Party.
