"Tomorrow there is a meeting of the Samajwadi Party's Parliamentary Board. We will take a decision there," Yadav told reporters this morning when asked what the party would do in the wake of Trinamool Congress deciding to withdraw support to the government.
Hours later, SP general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav asserted that no meeting was planned for tomorrow.
"There is no meeting of the Parliamentary Board tomorrow. There are no plans whatsoever to convene the Parliamentary Board," he told reporters after meeting Yadav.
Ram Gopal's statement came after he and another senior party leader Kiranmoy Nanda met the SP chief to discuss the political scenario following TMC's move to pull out of government.
Earlier, Mulayam Singh Yadav criticised the government, saying its policies had added to the burden of the common man and its "obstinate attitude" will weaken the Congress.
"We want wisdom should dawn upon the government. What have you (the government) given to the people apart from inflation and corruption? There is so much burden on the common man, so much burden on the farmers," he said.
Asked if the attitude of the central government was coming in the way of its smooth functioning, the SP chief said, "This obstinate attitude will only go on to weaken it (Congress). Due to this attitude, the Congress party will become very weak". (MORE)
