Mulayam went on to say that it was because of the Congress party's failure as a political force that the BJP had risen so fast.
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Sunday became the Cassandra of doom for the Congress party. In yet another open show of how desperately he is cosying up to the BJP, he snubbed the Congress Party saying it was nearing its end. "The Congress party has no future… and we have no empathy with it," Mulayam said at a huge party rally in his bastion Mainpuri from where he has been Lok Sabha MP a number of times.
Mulayam went on to say that it was because of the Congress party's failure as a political force that the BJP had risen so fast. "The Congress has failed to stop the march of the BJP. It is only we Samajwadis who have fought the BJP every time," he asserted. This is Mulayam's third significant move in the recent past indicating his desperation to be in PM Modi's good books. The main reason for this is understood to be the threat of the CBI reviving the DA case pending against him in the Supreme Court. Besides, Mulayam wants to keep his distance from the Congress in view of the next UP assembly elections as both are claimants of the crucial Muslim vote.
The first signs of Mulayam's queer political manoeuvering had become apparent when he broke ranks with the Congress over stalling Parliament over the Lalit Modi case and Vyapam scam. Modi was quick to praise Mulayam, and the political import of the development was not lost on the naivest of political observers. More recently, he pulled out of the grand alliance in Bihar, refusing to share stage with Congress president Sonia Gandhi at an alliance rally in Patna on August 30.
Though the official explanation was the alliance allocating his party just five seats in the 243-member Assembly elections, the real reason was apparent to keen political watchers. The SP decision was a big blow to the ambitious grand alliance formed by the former "Janata Parivar" parties to take on a resurgent BJP in the critical Bihar elections, being seen as the next big test for PM Narendra Modi after the Delhi electoral disaster.
