Mulayam hint for snap polls


Mulayam Singh Yadav, whose party SP rescued the UPA government in Parliament during crucial votes this week, on Friday spoke of the possibility of early Lok Sabha polls.

"There is no guarantee when the Lok Sabha elections may take place" he said at a party function in Lucknow asking his son and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to implement the party manifesto and bring "visible changes" within six months.
Samajwadi Party, which Mulayam Singh heads, won a spectacular majority in the Assembly elections earlier this month.
The party, which provides outside support to the UPA coalition at the Centre, helped the government by voting with it during voting on Opposition amendments to the President's Address in the Lok Sabha and in Rajya Sabha.
Reacting to his statement, BJP leader Arun Jaitley said in Delhi that if Mulayam was not so sure of the government's stability then he should stop bailing out the government so often.
In his speech, Mulayam Singh said hanges should be visible in six months and the manifesto should be implemented within a year.
He was addressing his party leaders and workers at a function to mark the 102nd anniversary of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia in Lucknow.
"Lohia considered betrayal of promises as corruption," he said advising early implementation of the manifesto.
The SP supremo said that he did not become the Chief Minister as he wanted to monitor the working of the government while remaining among party workers.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
