Former Samajwadi Party leader
Amar Singh was today admitted to a private hospital here after he complained of uneasiness.
Singh, 59, was rushed to Fortis hospital here after he felt uneasy. "He complained of pain. Doctors are ascertaining the reasons behind his health condition," an aide said.

There has been talk of Amar Singh's return to the Samajwadi Party which had expelled him in 2010 following differences with the leadership.

"Those flocking around me had collectively forced me to
ensure MLC ticket of Ravishankar Singh Pappu for MLC. I took a tough stand due to my relations with former PM Chandrashekhar and it was main bone of contention between me and the party leadership," Singh said.
"Now circumstances and time have changed, its irony of fate that those Thakur friends are no longer seen around me, they are happily settled. To err is human to accept error is divine," he said.
Singh said he has learnt a "bitter lesson - not to take stand and be pragmatic like Bachchans and erstwhile Thakur loyalists. It keeps you non controversial, available, acceptable and adaptable to any situation. To live life without spine is fruitful".
"I have no fear of falling down, I want to chill as I am 50 plus and at this point of my life my focus and priority will be my personal health, wife and two kids," he said.
On his relations with Bollywood star Jaya Prada, Singh said she stood behind him like a shadow.
"It's amazing that she is happy with my nomination in RS. I am unhappy that despite my best effort I could not accommodate her. She refused Congress and BJP because of me, whereas I have accepted RS nomination. She sacrificed political career for me. I know my limitations. I am no longer a decision maker of SP and not in a position to recommend any suitable accommodation to those who stood by me," he said.
"I accepted RS nomination because of Mulayamji," said Singh, who had earlier stated that he was in Mulayam's "dil" (heart) which was larger than "dal" (party).
On his entry in Rajya Sabha again, Singh said, "I have no element of ecstasy or desperation but sense of gratitude towards his (Mulayam's) emotions and feelings for me. I have decades of association with him (Mulayam), I know his way of thinking, his political skills and response to a situation."
"I will not like to comment on any controversy or contradictory situation as my health does not permit. I may not complete my tenure. I have seen pinnacle of glory.
