A day after his resignation from all party posts was accepted, Amar Singh today said he will be in Samajwadi Party till he is "booted out" of it and announced a series of programmes that appeared to test political waters.
           
Addressing a press conference, he made sarcastic remarks about the leadership saying he has been now "freed from the bonds" following the acceptance of his resignation from party posts. He, however, maintained that he was a loyal soldier of the party.
           
"I will be in the party till I am booted out...I will also stick to my vow not to speak against SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and other top leaders," said Singh, who was accompanied by actor Sanjay Dutt at the press conference.
           
Referring to Mulayam and his close relatives—Ram Gopal Yadav, Shivpal Yadav, Akhilesh Singh and Dharmendra Yadav, Amar Singh said they constituted the party and in their wisdom, they accepted his resignation.
           
In snide remarks, he said accepting the advice of senior leader Janeswar Mishra he would now try to become a 'Samajwadi' (Socialist) instead of being a 'Mulayamwadi' (Mulayamite).
           
Asked whether he was hinting at the party being a family affair, he said, "I am not saying, people say this."
           
In apparent testing of waters, Amar Singh said he would meet "true" socialists like Raghu Thakur, a Madhya Pradesh leader, and participate in various programmes in Rampur, Mathura and Ghazipur.
