Kolkata: Launching a
strong attack on the UPA government, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam
Singh Yadav Tuesday said it lacked in clear cut policies and
direction and his party was opposed to many of its actions thus
"fulfilling the role of the opposition".
Mulayam Singh, whose party is providing outside support to the
United Progressive Alliance (UPA), told reporters here that the
country now faced many challenges caused by the wrong policies of
the government.
"As far as the country is concerned, there are many big challenges
before it. And the challenges have been caused by the wrong
policies of those running the country. You can see there is no
clear policy.... and we don't know where they want to take the
country," he said.
"We are in touch with the government, but there is no direction,"
he said.
The Samajwadi Party chief said the country was not satisfied as
the truth has not come out about the scams during the present
government.
"Some questions that were raised in Lok Sabha ... there were some
debates. I think the country is not satisfied. Because the truth
hasn't come out. There are so many scams and so much corruption,"
said Mulayam Singh, who is here for the two-day national executive
meeting of his party beginning Wednesday.
"No one had dreamt this would happen. And who are involved... big
big people... who knows where the coal scam will go? No one knows.
Every day there are new things in the newspapers," he said.
Mulayam Singh said the situation had presented a huge challenge
for his party.
"Especially before us who are in opposition... it is not that we
are against them, against the party. We are against their party's
misdeeds which are not good for the country"
Asserting that his party was neither against Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh or his colleagues, he said: "We are against their
policies which they must correct. That is the role of the
opposition and we are fulfilling that".
