Amar's expulsion

After a month long exchange of diatribes between Samajwadi Party and its former General Secretary Amar Singh, SP expelled Amar Singh and party MP from Rampur former Bollywood actress Jay Prada from the party for their anti-party activies. Amar Singh in his 14 years in SP undoutedly emerged as a political leader who could not be ignored on the ground of good or bad reasons by any political leaders. Samajwadi Party gave him a high political stature and in return he managed the party through his skill in liaisoning and also brought Bollywood and Corporate community closer to it contrary to its belief and ideology. Samajwad has been the base of SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav but with the entry of Amar Singh who brought crony capitalism in the party, which relegated the true Samajwadi to the background and it was given a complete make-over. The relation between Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh was like brothers- Ram and Laxman- of the Mahabharta. Amar used to wield enormous influence on party’s decision with full backing of the boss Mulayam Singh Yadav. There was a time when if any SP leader dared to criticise Amar’s style of politics,which was completely misfit with samajwad, he was immediately shown the door.Amar was the trouble shooter of Mulayam Singh Yadav and gave him platform to share diais with Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Sanjay Dutta, Jay Prada and Manoj Tiwari and Corporate leaders like Anil Ambani, Subrato Ray Sahara and others in complete dislike of other Samajwadi leaders in the Party. The platform of Samajwad on which Mulayam Singh Yadav started his political career and got connected with grass roots was foregotten. In Amar’s association he subverted the values of Samajwad. When Mulayam realised that Amar’s crony capitalism and his doubtful credentials among the minority resulting in the desertion of his vote banks, he was left with no option but to show Amar's the door. As far the impact of Amar's expulsion is concerned, SP will not be affected in terms of votes as he has never been a grass root leader and neither has any political base. Now it is also clear that both Bollywood and Corporate world will keep distance from SP as they had come closer to it due to their friendship with Amar Singh. Mulayam will only miss Amar at the time of liaisoning with other political parties in which Amar had got mastery by utilising the platform of Samajwadi party. Amar can not live without politics and because of that he has already formed Lok Manch, which he describes as an apolitical outfit.Neither BSP not Congress has shown any interest in him and he now appears to be untouchable in politics.
