Accusing Mulayam Singh Yadav of indulging in nepotism, Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma has said that his stint with Congress was better than the 30 years spent with the SP supremo.

"Yadav is practicising nepotism and exploiting his own caste (Yadavs)," Verma while addressing a programme here yesterday.

"The last five years spent with Congress were better than 30 years spent with Yadav," the Congress leader, who was earlier a part of Samajwadi Party, said.

"Congress is going to win at least 50 seats (out of total 80 seats) in the state and Rahul Gandhi will become the next PM," Verma said.
