A day after being expelled from Samajwadi Party, Ram Gopal Yadav on Monday rejected suggestions that he plans to form a new party with Akhilesh Yadav but asserted he will work towards ensuring his nephew becomes the Uttar Pradesh chief minister again after next year's polls.

"There is no question of forming another party. Why should I form another party? Those who have nothing should think of forming another party. Everything is with Akhilesh. People are with him," he said.

Reiterating his loyalty to Akhilesh, he dared party leaders Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh to list out their charges and allegations against him in a public meeting and walk away unscathed. Praising Akhilesh, Ram Gopal said in no other party a personal war has been waged against a chief minister. It is disappointing that Akhilesh is under attack by people within the party, he said.

Asserting his goal right now is to ensure return of Akhilesh as chief minister in the next polls, he said he will leave no stone unturned to achieve his objective. He was expelled from the party yesterday for allegedly colluding with BJP with the purpose of damaging the SP.

Silence is the best answer: Amar Singh

As the feud in the Samajwadi Party degenerated into mudslinging, senior party leader Amar Singh on Monday said sometimes silence was the best strategic answer to all questions and allegations brought against him.

Giving his "best wishes" to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Singh, once a right hand man of SP supermo Mulayam Singh Yadav, said, "I won't comment on the matter. For me, at times silence is the best strategic answer to all questions and allegations raised against me".

When asked about his reactions to Akhilesh pointing fingers at him, Singh said, "I give my best wishes to Akhilesh Yadav. I have wished him on his birthday. He is the son of my supreme leader, my best wishes are with him."

Later at another function, Singh thanked SP supremo and UP Samajwadi Party president Shivpal Yadav for standing beside him.

"I thank Mulayam Singh Yadav and Shivpal Yadav for standing beside me," he said.
