New Delhi, Nov 23: Amid stalemate in Parliament over discussion on prise rise, the government today held consultations with Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav as part of its efforts to reach out to non-UPA parties.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, the chief trouble shooter of the UPA government, held a luncheon meeting with Yadav and is learnt to have sought his party’s support to hold the discussions under a rule which does not entail voting.
SP, having 22 members in the Lok Sabha, had recently announced that it will not bail out the government on the issue of price rise during the ongoing session.
Though Yadav said he did not discuss any political issue, sources aware of the deliberations said the government could not extract any assurance from the SP on its support.
