Amar accuses Maya of kidnapping SP MPs

New Delhi: Samajwadi leader Amar Singh on Tuesday alleged that six Lok Sabha MPs from his party were being forcibly kept inside the Uttar Pradesh Bhavan ahead of the crucial trust vote and charged Chief Minister Mayawati with playing “coercive politics”.

Talking to newsmen before the second and final day of special session of the Lok Sabha, Singh said one or two of the “detained” MPs may be rebels from his party.

Targeting archrival and the BSP supremo, Amar Singh said Mayawati was resorting to all political tactics to wean away his party MPs who are under constant threat from her government.

Claiming there was no split in his party - which has 38 MPs – he alleged that "rumours" of a division in the SP was being spread by Mayawati.
