Amar Singh threatens to quit SP over abuse

New Delhi/Lucknow, Apr.7 (ANI): Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh on Tuesday threatened to quit after he was insulted by party member Azam Khan.

"SP can exist without me, but not without Azam Khan, it appears," said an upset Amar Singh.

It all started when Azam Khan questioned the renomination of actress Jayaprada as the party's candidate from Rampur.

Azam Khan asked the leadership to remove Jaya from what he saw as his political turf.

Mulayam Singh Yadav then asked a sulking Azam Khan to contest the high-profile minority seat himself. (ANI)
