During last Day of the Lok Sabha session, Mulayam Singh Yadav on Thursday said, "I wish that PM Modi, you should become the prime minister again. I have experienced that whenever I met you, you got my work done instantly."
As Mulayam Singh’s son and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav have joined hands with Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party to oust Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bhartiya Janta Party from power in 2019, it is big setback for their alliance in Uttar Pradesh.
Interestingly, Sonia Gandhi was sitting beside Mulayam Singh when he openly showcased his support for PM Modi and praised his work. As Mulayam heaped praise, PM Modi smiled and folded his hands in gratitude for the words of appreciation.
