LUCKNOW: While Samajwadi Party President and Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav was busy distributing unemployment allowance cheques to unemployed youths across Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissent started emanating from his two alliance partners Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and Loktantrik Congress Party (LCP).
The war of words between SP and RLD has come out in the open with the latter alleging the state government "was a total failure" and the former questioning RLD's continuance in the ministry if it was not satisfied with the performance of the government.
Yadav also rejected the RLD's demand for creation of a separate Harit Pradesh, carving districts of western region of the state.
Harit Pradesh had been on top of the agenda of RLD and was its plank in the last assembly polls and the party had again been trying to rake up the issue, apparently with an eye on the next assembly polls due early next year.
"You (media) should ask RLD chief Ajit Singh why his party is in the ministry if he is opposed to us", SP General Secretary Amar Singh had recently said. Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav had also out rightly rejected any further division of the state to create Harit Pradesh.
"<span style='color:blue'><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>We do not want any division of the state. The results of division in the past have not been good...Smaller states are weak", Yadav had recently said citing the examples of Chhattisgarh where he said the naxalites had been killing innocent people. </span></span>
