SP Mulayam Accepts Amar's resignation

Things are getting more sour between SP Chief Mulayam and the SP's poster boy Amar Signh. In the on going spat between Ram Gopal and Amar Singh, Ram Gopal seems to have gained the upper hand. While Amar Singh remained adamant on his resignation, Ram Gopal said the former had lost his mental balance. The SP chief had maintained that he would convince Singh to take back his resignation, but failed to sway him.

Ram Gopal has held Singh responsible for SP's association with former BJP leader Kalyan Singh, which, he felt led to the party's poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls and the Ferozabad by-election.

SP leaders including Jaya Prada, Jaya Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt had threatened to quit their party posts in the wake of Singh's resignation.
