Will quit SP if asked to: Jaya Bachchan

Calling the expulsion of Amar Singh as wrong which would hurt the party, actor turned politician Jaya Bachchan on Tuesday said that she would quit the Samajwadi Party and Rajya Sabha if asked by it's president Mulayam Singh Yadav.

"If they want me to leave then they should ask," she said when asked whether she would quit the SP and Rajya Sabha.

"I am sad and hurt (on Amar Singh's and Jaya Prada's expulsion). This is a very wrong decision and would hurt the party in future," she said.

Bachchan, who was brought into Samajwadi Party by Amar Singh, said that it was sad that Mulayam Singh has been bullied by people around him into taking action against Amar Singh.

"A lot of people have managed to bully Mulayam Singhji into taking this decision. Mulayam Singhji has great love and affection for Amar Singhji who was like a shield to his leader. I am worried and concerned that the shield has been removed," she said.

Bachchan said she had interacted with Mulayam after Amar's resignation from party posts and added that the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister was still her leader.
