Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh today said he had not left the Samajwadi Party but was thrown out of it.
Speaking to reporters here after meeting Governor Ram Naik, he said, "I had comprehensive talks with the governor. As a father figure, I told him everything and also gave him a memorandum, urging him to take it seriously."
He quoted SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav as once having remarked that "Amar resides in (his) heart and not in the party."
Taking a dig at Azam Khan, Singh said he had not secured any post for his wife, brother or any other family member like Azam Khan, who "himself became a minister, his wife became a Rajya Sabha MP, his son an MLA and he (Azam), the chancellor of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University."
Singh said he would leave for Rampur, Azam Khan's pocket borough tomorrow "to present myself for sacrifice in front of Khan."
