I don't want to join govt: Amar Singh

NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party (SP) workers feel that the party would benefit by joining the UPA government at the Centre though he himself was not interested, Senior SP leader Amar Singh today said.

At the same time, the SP general secretary bluntly said that without his party, Congress has no future in Uttar Pradesh.

"I don't want to join the government. But workers (of Samajwadi Party) think we well benefit (If I join the government)," the SP general secretary said.

To a poser on as to why he was not interested in joining the government, Singh said "I just do not want to". He said he will have to "accept the leadership of Congress under Soniaji and the administrative leadership of Manmohan Singh whether I remain inside or outside the cabinet."

In a dig at the Left parties which had often been accused of wielding power without responsibility while propping up the Manmohan Singh government, he said "I cannot duplicate the style of the Left in supporting the government."
