Mulayam will be the next PM: Shivpal Singh Yadav

Senior Cabinet Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav believes that Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav will be the next Prime Minister of the country provided the party succeeds in winning 60 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.

"No one can stop Mulayam from becoming the Prime Minister if the party succeeds in winning 60 (out of 80) Lok Sabha seats in UP," Yadav said while addressing a rally here today in support of party candidate Bhalchandra Yadav.

The SP government had won hearts of common man by launching welfare schemes due to which there was tide in favour of the party, he said.

Meanwhile, addressing the rally, SP leader Abu Asim Azmi blamed the media for defaming the government unknowing the facts of any incidents that occurred in the state.
