Etawah,
Sept 21: Samajwadi Party MP from Mainpuri Tej Pratap Singh today said
Mulayam Singh Yadav or Netaji is the accepted leader of the party and he is
ready to leave his seat for the leader. "There is no if or but on Netaji
as a consensus leader of the party and he is welcomed to contest from anywhere
he wants," the grandson of Mulayam said while reacting on the announcement
of Mulayam that he would now contest from Mainpuri seat instead of Azamgarh.
Mulayam had won from both the Mainpuri and Azamgarh seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha
polls, but later he left Mainpuri from where his grandson( son of his younger
brother) Tej Pratap had won in the bypolls. Tej Pratap is the son-in-law of RJD
president Lalu Prasad. Talking to UNI here, Tej Pratap said, 'Who ever is
opposing Mulayam on his decision to shift to Mainpuri should be termed as a
rebel of the party.' The leader also criticised the BJP government in UP for
their failure to deliver in just six months of their rule. "The people of
the state are frustrated lot as BJP had not fulfilled even a single promise
they have given during the assembly polls. The farm loan waiver is merely a
joke on the poor farmers of the state as they are yet to get any relief from
their heavy loans," he said. Tej Pratap, tried to balance his words and
not getting entangled in the SP family dispute, said the party was one and very
soon it will launch a state wide agitation against the misrule of the Yogi
Adityanath government. UNI
