"There is no threat to the government. It is not in minority," SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav told reporters here in reply to a question on the emerging political situation following DMK's withdrawl.
Even as DMK has announced to pull out of the UPA government, Samajwadi Party (SP) today said there is no apparent threat to the government and it will continue to support the Centre.
"There is no threat to the government. It is not in minority," SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav told reporters here in reply to a question on the emerging political situation following DMK's withdrawl.
"SP had and will continue to support the government at the Centre," he added.
On being asked whether the SP will join the government if invited, Yadav said it was a hypothetical assumption.
"There is no discussion or talk going on about SP joining the government," he said.
He said stand-off between the DMK and Congress over seat sharing over Tamil Nadu polls was not an important issue.
"Negotiations are going on between the leaders of the two parties. Infact, Congress leaders have reached there last night and are in talk process. There are differences over seat -sharing and posts but efforts are on to sort out the matter," he said.
"It has to be seen whether the resignation submitted by DMK ministers is accepted or not. In colaition such things happen," he added.
The SP chief said his party will continue to support the government, which had already been clarified by the national general secretary yesterday.
On being asked whether he had any conversation with the prime minister regarding joining the government, Yadav said there were no such talks.
"Although we have telephonic conversations off and on. Three days back, the PM called me and said he wanted to discuss other important issues, including the stand-off in the Lok Sabha and country's security," Yadav said.
