Agra Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav announced a state-wide 'jail bharo' agitation against Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh and asked the Centre to "mend" its policies, but was silent on the issue of withdrawing support from the Congress-led UPA.

"The 'jail bharo' agitation will not be symbolic. You all will have to go to jail...I will court arrest in Lucknow," Yadav said at the inaugural session of the party's Special National Conference in Agra.

The date of the agitation against the Uttar Pradesh government for its "all round failure" will be announced shortly, he said.

The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister attacked the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre on issues including rising prices, suicides by farmers and the foreign policy.

"The Prime Minister had assured people that prices of essential commodities will be brought down in the first 100 days of the new government. Why does he have to make a promise which he cannot fulfil?" he said.

Yadav, however, made no reference to the issue of SP withdrawing support from the UPA government. Sources said though the matter came up before the National Executive of the party last night, no decision was taken. The issue may come up during the 'open discussion' at the three-day conference, they said.

Jail Bharo - Mulayam by Varinder on 19 Aug 2009

Mr. Mulayam's call to SP workers for Jail Bharo is usual stunt of the stunt party (SP). Mulayam's request to government (UPA) to mend ways of functioning is more funny because first SP bailed out government last year and now still supporting them. It appears Maya's ghost is haunting Mulayam and co.,
