Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Kripal Yadav on Friday said that the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh won't join the grand alliance again as he has been hurt and insulted.
"After much thinking, this decision has been taken. I am sure Mulayam Yadav won't be able to come back to the grand alliance," Yadav told ANI.
"He has again been hurt. He has been hurt earlier also. I know about it as I had been a part of that Janata Dal Parivar. I know how he has been insulted, and even now, he is being insulted," he added.
The Samajwadi Party, on Thursday, withdrew its support from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-Janata Dal (United [JD (U)] alliance just before the Bihar polls.
