Continuing his attack on the Samajwadi Party Chief, Amar Singh today equated Mulayam Singh Yadav with 'Dhritrashtra', saying when injustice was being meted out to him, Yadav remained a mute spectator.

"Yadav like Dhritrashtra (a character in the Hindu epic Mahabharata) who remained a mute spectator when injustice was meted out to Draupadi, kept mum when his relatives called me all funny and nasty names," Singh said at a meeting of Kshatriya Samaj here.

"After putting in 14 years of my life for SP, I had been humiliated and this is what I got (expelled from the party)," Singh said.

Alleging that SP has turned into a 'Yadav Mahasabha' Party, he said, "the Yadavs are having a sway in the party from national to district level".

He rued he had not done any good to his community - Kshatriya Samaj - in the last 14 years and said now he was a free bird he would work for them and the country.

At the meeting Madhya Pradesh Kshatriya Samaj President Rajendra Singh Tomar announced that their community will give Rs 50 lakh 'rath' chariot to Singh to tour for the cause of Kshatriyas.

"I am like a traveller and will find refuge wherever I get a place," Singh told reporters when he was asked of his future plan.

On February 11, Singh virtually dubbed Yadav as a green snake in the grass for Muslims but later backtracked saying the usage was not against a particular person.
