Modi should learn culture and politics of UP: Mulayam
Rampur (UP), July 12: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said that if Narendra Modi wanted to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh he should come forward and learn the culture and politics of the state, where people could not be divided along communal lines.
"He
(Modi)
should
not
think
that
UP
is
Gujarat
since
there
was
a
sea
of
difference
between
cultures
of
the
two
states,
people
of
these
states
differ
so
far
as
political
thinking
and
social
attitudes
are
concerned,"
he
said
here.
"If Modi is keen to contest from UP let him come forward so that he may be equipped with the culture and politics of the peace loving electorate who have been living here practising communal brotherhood and harmony," Yadav said.
On being asked about SP candidates to be pitted against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and other important constituencies, he said, "the decision will be taken by the party's parliamentary board."
He criticised Centre's stand on the recent Chinese incursions in Ladakh and said strict steps were required to prevent any such step in future. Yadav was in the city to condole the death of State Minister Azam Khan's mother.
