In a bid to remain politically relevant after registering a less than expected performance in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party said it would consider joining the Manmohan Singh Government if given an invite.
"If we are called, we would consider it seriously," SP general secretary Amar Singh told reporters on Saturday, after the Congress made a dramatic comeback in the State that sends maximum number of MPs -- 80 -- to the Parliament. He said there had been no formal request from the Prime Minister on the issue. "If the Congress leadership makes the first move, then we will decide on it." He said that the SP parliamentary board will meet on Sunday to discuss the situation.
While SP has got 21 seats in the State, the other fourth front partner RJD won three seats in Bihar. The third ally LJP could not open its account with its chief Ramvilas Paswan too losing from his stronghold Hazipur in Bihar.
Despite the setback, Singh said his party's association with the fourth front will continue and the front would meet in Delhi on Sunday<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ambani had already made deal. Why this drama by gate crasher?
