New Delhi: The Samajwadi Party on Wednesday appointed Mohan Singh as its general secretary and spokesperson, replacing Amar Singh and asking him to vacate the SP’s Rajya Sabha seat.
Mohan Singh, the new SP general secretary, told reporters Amar must resign. "Since Amar Singh has resigned as party's general secretary, member of parliamentary board and as spokesperson, he has already detached himself from the party,” said Mohan.
"Rajya Sabha membership is given by the party and, therefore, he should resign from Rajya Sabha too."
“Amar is now part of history. In political parties, people keep coming and going. It is an ongoing process. Parties which understand the common man's issues continue to prosper. One major question before the SP now is how to make people aware of its socialist face," he said.
Mohan alleged it was because of people like Amar Singh the party got the image that is with the "rich and mighty only."
"People felt that the SP has become a party of corporates. We too are responsible for being mute spectators" on the issue, he said.
