Meerut (U.P.): Opposing the Indo-US nuclear deal and criticising the UPA Government’s role in it, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has asked his party men to be prepared for the Lok Sabha elections as “the Left Front is in its last stage to support the Congress at the Centre and can withdraw anytime”.

Speaking at the national convention of his party at the Lohia Park here, he said the Bush Administration was thrusting its policy on India, and Iran and Pakistan would be America’s next target. Mr. Yadav lambasted the Central Government’s policies that led to huge inflow of foreign money into the stock market which could cripple the economy.

On the alleged police recruitment scam, the former Chief Minister said the DGP conducting the probe was not “at all fit and how can he conduct an enquiry”. While hinting at the recent development of CBI moving ahead in the disproportionate asset case against him, he said it was a conspiracy by some parties that were trying to eliminate him and his party from the political scene. “If Indira Gandhi failed to eliminate Samajwadi Party from the political arena, how can any other party succeed,” he remarked.

Branding Mayawati’s Government as ‘Jungle Raj’, he criticised her for not doing anything to “alleviate the sufferings of cane-growers in the State”. “The State Government has no money to give to the cane-growers but has Rs 700 crore to construct a park in Lucknow,” he said. The former Chief Minister criticised the Government for banning students poll in the State.
