Lucknow:
A day after Samajwadi party chief Mulayam Singh publicly disowned Kalyan Singh, the former BJP leader has retorted and accused Mulayam of betraying him.
Kalyan Singh said that Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh approached him and his son Rajvir Singh - currently an MLA on SP ticket.
"Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh came to us, we didn't go to them," said Kalyan Singh.
The former BJP leader also said that during the Lok Sabha elections Mulayam made him campaign.
Meanwhile, Rajvir Singh said that he's very hurt by Mulayam's statement and announced his resignation from SP.
"I resign from Samajwadi party," said Rajvir Singh.
Rajvir was initially SP's candidate from Firozabad which later went to Dimple Yadav, Mulayam's daughter-in-law.
Mulayam disowns KalyanOn Saturday, when asked about Kalyan Singh being part of the Samajwadi Party, Mulayam said Kalyan has never been part of the party and will never be a part of it.
"Kalayan Singh is not in the Samajwadi Party. He never was part of it," said Mulayam.
After the Samajwadi Party's bypoll disaster in Uttar Pradesh, the party wanted to distance itself from the former BJP leader as far as possible.
Kalyan Singh is identified with the demolition of the Babri Masjid, as he was the chief minister of the state then.
And Mulayam's association with him is said to have cost Mulayam the humiliation of losing on his home ground in the recent bypolls.
