Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh on Tuesday alleged that six Lok Sabha Members of Parliament from his party were being forcibly kept inside the Uttar Pradesh Bhavan in New Delhi ahead of the crucial trust vote and charged Bahujan Samaj Party chief Minister Mayawati with playing coercive politics.
Talking to newsmen before the second and final day of the special session of the Lok Sabha, Singh said one or two of them might be rebels from his party.
Targeting his arch rival, Singh said Mayawati was resorting to all kind of allurements to wean away his party MPs, who are under constant threat from her government.
Claiming there was no split in his party that has 38 MPs, Singh alleged that rumours of a division in the SP were being spread by Mayawati.
