With SP around, UPA should not worry

At last the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has categorically stated that with his party around, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) does not have to worry about its existence.
Although he conveniently ignores the question if he has received any offer from the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to this regard, he admits that "the UPA has no crisis of numbers in the Parliament (which means the UPA has ever ready support from the Samajwadi Party in case of any need)."
After a long while Mulayam Singh, who is known as a grass root level politician, appeared in his usual aggressive "do or die" mode.
He sounded more concerned about his party's onward movement in Uttar Pradesh, which is its karmabhumi, than about the crisis in the UPA.
The biggest Opposition for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)- led government in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party has planned a mass movement in the state against the ruling party.
According to Mulayam, the state government has arrested over 15,000 youth supporting his party, in last three days. "This has already underlined the success of the party's movement scheduled to start from March 7.
Samajwadi Party is known for its strategic moves to make its agitations success. In the past also the party leaders on several occasions, have fooled the government's restrictions and have succeeded in their movements.
Working on the same pattern, Mulayam advised his party men to go underground for a day to make the agitation a success again.
"Now substantial arrests have already been made, hence the party youth, which is enthused, should hide for the day and come out with more energy tomorrow to make the people's agitation a success." These were the wise words of Mulayam for his party men.
"The Chief Minister Mayawati seems to be so scared that she is leaving no stone unturned to obstruct the Samajwadi movement, which is, in fact, a people's movement.'' He said the party had common man in its support.
Mulayam minced no words while drawing parallels between the Emergency period and the governance of Mayawati. But at the same time he also did not forget to remind Mayawati that people never forgive the leaders, who have ever tried to snub their voices.
"If people can show the consequences of atrocities of a leader to a person like former Prime Minister of India, late Indira Gandhi, who was such a popular leader, what is the capacity of Mayawati in front of her. She cannot be compared even with the dust at Ms. Gandhi's feet."
He concludes with a statement that any government that has snubbed the voices of youth, media and judiciary, that government has no chance of survival. "And Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party is snubbing all the three, so it is clear that she will have to bear the consequences in the next assembly election (slated early next year).
