“Now open and hidden agendas existed to create divide between different communities and it is only the Samajwadi Party and its polices which can foil such nefarious attempts,” Akhilesh said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi wished Mulayam on his birthday and said he prayed for his long and healthy life. “On Mulayam Singh Yadavji's birthday I extend my greetings to him and pray that he is blessed with a long and healthy life,” Modi tweeted.
UP Governor Ram Naik also extended birthday greetings to Yadav and wished him a “happy, long and active life”. The mega two-day birthday bash was organised for Mulayam in Rampur which began yesterday, triggering a controversy. Mulayam rode an imported Victorian-style ‘buggy' (horse-driven carriage) and around 40 ministers gathered for his bash.
