Amar Singh to miss UP polls, leaves for London

Luckow : Mulayam Singh Yadav loyalist and old friend Amar Singh, who has been at the forefront of the raging feud between Samajwadi Party patriarch and his son Akhilesh, left for London for treatment.

The Election commission will announce its decision on SP’s symbol Cycle today.  

Singh said he was in London when he was summoned back due to developments in the party. He claimed, will be back after the treatment is over.

Singh said he would shortly leave for treatment in London and later Singapore. "I would be back sometime in late March," he said. It means he will miss the UP polls.

Singh has signed on a few documents the Mulayam camp has submitted to the poll panel to stake its claim over the 'cycle' symbol.

He was conspicuous by his absence in Election Commission on Friday when the Commission heard the two sides on the symbol issue.
