Mulayam U-turn: Backs Parliament logjam 24 hours after he slammed it

August 11, 2015 17:24

Just hours after he was praised by the Prime Minister for saying, Enough is Enough, about Parliament disruptions, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav has had a change of heart.

Yadav has warned of new disruptions to block Parliament unless the government releases the findings of a vast census that collected socio-economic and caste data.

Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday had urged Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan to end the logjam in Parliament, even as constant disruptions by Opposition parties led to both Houses being adjourned for the day.

Mulayam's stand won him "the gratitude" of the PM, union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy had said.
