People are with Akhilesh; no need for new party: Ramgopal

October 24, 2016 21:54

A day after being expelled from Samajwadi Party, Ramgopal Yadav today rejected suggestions that he plans to form a new party with Akhilesh Yadav but asserted he will work towards ensuring his nephew becomes the Uttar Pradesh chief minister again after next year's polls.

"There is no question of forming another party. Why should I form another party? Those who have nothing should think of forming another party. Everything is with Akhilesh. People are with him," he said.

Reiterating his loyalty to Akhilesh, he dared party leaders Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh to list out their charges and allegations against him in a public meeting and walk away unscathed.

Praising Akhilesh, Ramgopal said in no other party a personal war has been waged against a chief minister. It is disappointing that Akhilesh is under attack by people within the party, he said.

Asserting his goal right now is to ensure return of Akhilesh as chief minister in the next polls, he said he will leave no stone unturned to achieve his objective.
