Amar Singh blames Jaya Bachchan for problem with Mulayam
New Delhi, Aug 9 (IBNS) Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has slammed Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan, once his close friend, saying that he does not need a "middleman or woman" like her to reach out to SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.
After he was spotted sharing a platform with Mulayam Singh, with whom he had parted ways back in 2010, Amar Singh told Network 18: "As and when Mulayam has personally asked me for anything I have done it. Let him contradict this statement of mine, the trouble started brewing when he appointed Mrs Jaya Bachchan as middleman between him and me."
Amar Singh said: "For the rapport that we shared, there was no need of a middleman, middlewoman or broker to do brokerage of relationships between us."
He, however, said nothing should be read between the lines of his sharing platform with Mulayam Singh recently.
"I and Mulayam Singh Yadav are doing social work for a senior political leader who is not with us. To be not present at such an occasion is not good. To add political connotation to it or to look at it in political light is extremely wrong," he said on the inauguration function of Janeshwar Mishra Park in Lucknow.
