Aligarh, May 3: Angry over Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s complimentary references to his party, Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday charged him with bringing into disrepute established norms of electioneering in some of his recent campaign speeches.

“Who is he to ask muslims to vote for us? the PM is using devious methods for his campaigning which do not behove a person occupying the highest office of the land,” Mr Yadav alleged referring to Mr Vajpayee’s appeal to the members of the minority community to vote for SP instead of Congress.

“Mr Vajpayee is trying deliberately to malign the SP in the eyes of the minorities by his recent utterances,” he alleged addressing an election meeting here.

Mr Yadav said “it is an absolute lie that the sp has some sort of a secret understanding with the BJP. Such rumours are being deliberately spread by the Congress which is a past master in the art of double crossing.”

“Unlike the Congress, we do not believe in the politics of betrayal. Whatever I do is always in the open,” he said.
