Lucknow, Feb 19: Asking for the intervention of Uttar Pradesh governor T V Rajeswar in the ongoing political scenario, former Prime Minister V P Singh led Jan Morcha today asked to him to prevent Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav from seeking a confidence vote in the assembly to prevent possibilities of ''horse trading.'' Jan Morcha leader and suspended Samajwadi Party MP Raj Babbar today met Mr Rajeswar and sought his intervention on the issue.

''The governor has hinted that would send a fresh report to the Centre either this evening or tomorrow,'' he said.

Mr Babbar wondered why the Chief Minister was planning a confidence vote when he had already won the same on January 25.

''Does he want to hide his defeat following the Supreme Court judgement by seeking a fresh vote,'' he asked.

The film star-turned politician, who held discussions with the governor for about 30 minutes, said imposition of President's Rule in UP was not a political issue. ''After the apex court judgement, it becomes binding to clamp Atricle 356 in the state,'' he said adding that Left parties, including the CPI (M) should look at the issue as a legal one.

''I appeal to them( left parties) to look into the legal angles, it is not a political issue,'' he added.

He claimed Mr V P Singh was also in touch with political leaders on the issue.
