New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on Saturday strongly reacted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks on the leadership in Uttar Pradesh.
He said that ahead of the Assembly polls in UP, political compulsions forced him to make such statements.
“The Prime Minister was only making a lip movement and the voice behind the remarks was of someone else,” Amar Singh said.
However, he advised the Prime Minister to consult Montek Singh before making any statement on UP's development.
Amar Singh said that the state had a surplus budget while others were running on deficit.
"He is not the real leader of his party. He is only making lip movement. But, you know whose voice it is," he added.
In a sharp attack he said that Prime Minister's remarks were his last message to Congress workers before the party becomes political non-entity in the coming polls.
On BJP's National Council meeting in Lucknow, Amar Singh termed the party's return to aggressive Hindutva as sheer opportunism.
“When the saffron party was in power at the Centre it had forgotten Ram Mandir. Now with elections round the corner in Uttar Pradesh they are again raising the issue to exploit communal sentiments, he said.
