Prateek Yadav, the younger son of Mulayam Singh Yadav on Thursday said that he would not enter politics, adding that his support is always with the Samajwadi Party.

"I will keep off politics as long as I can. I am busy in my real estate and gym business," Prateek told ANI in an exclusive interview.

He further said that the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance would win more than 250 seats in Uttar Pradesh and again the party would form government in the state.

Asserting that his support would always be with wife Aparna Yadav, who will be contesting elections from the Lucknow Cantonment seat in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh polls, Prateek said: I support Aparana in her political maiden venture and believe that she would win, I will also campaign along her."

Reacting to the controversy surrounding his Rs. five crore Lamborghini car, the younger son of Mulayam Singh said: " I bought the car on loan and have all the papers. I pay income tax then why this controversy for? if I had invested Rs. five crore in property then no one would have said anything."

Prateekk's blue Lamborgini became talk of the town last week when he flashed his luxurious car in the streets of Lucknow.
