'Mamata was expressing her own opinion about Kalam'

June 15, 2012 10:59

Yadav, who is the Samajwadi Party's General Secretary, says that the Trinamool Congress chief may have only been expressing her 'own' opinion when asked about the nominees for the presidential poll. He said it does not necessarily mean the Samajwadi Party subscribed to it.

He also did not comment why Mamata and Mulayam Singh failed to address a joint press conference after their meeting last evening. Yadav said reporers should ask the two leaders as only they could answer the question.

The SP, so far, unless there is another U-turn has ruled out joining the UPA or mid-term polls. Yadav said, "We don't want people or the exchequer to be burdened by elections."
