A furious Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today tore into his son, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhikesh Yadav, over the party's rout in the national election and wondered at a meeting - "how will we tackle Narendra Modi in Parliament?"
The Samajwadi Party has won just five of 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, the state it has ruled since 2012.
Mulayam Singh won two of the seats; his daughter-in-law Dimple and nephews Akshay Yadav and Dharmendra Yadav won the rest.
"Dimple can't speak, neither can Ramgopal's son Akshay Yadav. He is new to Parliament. Only Dharmendra Yadav and I have to take on Modi in Parliament," Mulayam Singh said at a meeting of his Samajwadi Party legislators today.
Earlier this week, at an introspection meet with 73 party candidates who lost, Mulayam Singh had asked, "With whom will I sit in Parliament?" In 2009, the party had 23 MPs in the Lok Sabha. Read more
