Mulayam Singh Yadav to keep tabs on govt functioning

Lucknow, Mar 17: SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today said he would keep tabs on his party's government in Uttar Pradesh and any minister found indulging in corruption would be sacked immediately.

"We will keep a control on the government..I myself will keep a close watch on its working and if any minister is caught involved in corruption he would be sacked immediately," Mulayam said addressing party workers.

The SP supremo said he wants implementation of the party manifesto and would talk to ministers in this regard irrespective of their stature. He said a system would be evolved where people's work is done easily and they do not have to run to Lucknow. Congratulating workers for a majority government, he said though the BSP government committed atrocities, not a single worker buckled under pressure.

He said that there were a number of serious challenges along with responsibilities. "We have to implement our manifesto. Hooliganism will not be tolerated and justice will be ensured to all," he said.

The SP supremo said that 2014 Lok Sabha eletions was a major challenge and people want to see results similar to assembly polls while setting a target of winning all 80 seats.

He advised the workers to practise patience and said that they should not work with vendatta.
