July 11, 2013 13:40
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has reportedly told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that his party will not support the Food Security Bill unless 10 amendments are incorporated.
A report on NDTV says that Yadav, whose Samajwadi Party extends external support to the UPA government, went alone and met the Prime Minister for 30 minutes, just before a Cabinet meeting.
Emerging from the meeting, the Samajwadi chief just said he had just gone for a cup of tea.
The government will try to push the Food Security ordinance and other measures crucial to the UPA ahead of the 2014 polls. The SP has threatened to withdraw support to the UPA on the Food Bill which it says is anti farmer.
