Arvind Singh, younger brother of Samajwadi party general secretary Amar Singh, has accused the elder sibling of "autocratic" style of functioning and said he plans to quit the party and join BSP.
"Discontentment against his (Amar Singh's) autocratic style of functioning is brewing in the party," Arvind Singh said over phone from Azamgarh, his home district.
Arvind claimed a sizeable number of old and dedicated SP workers from the district have evinced interest in quitting the party in protest against Amar Singh's "autocratic style of functioning".
"Amar Singh is calling the shots in the party simply because he has the financial resources at his command," according to Arvind.
Arvind alleged Amar Singh had conspired to have Azamgarh district SP general secretary Bijendra Singh expelled from the party after the latter opposed his style of functioning.
"Amar Singh was against my becoming active in politics and became jealous of my rising popularity graph in the district, especially after I helped SP win the prestigious Lalganj Lok Sabha seat in last parliamentary elections," Arvind charged.
Asked about his future strategy, Arvind said he had kept all his options open. "Politics is a game of possibilities," he said when asked whether he could join BSP.
"There is nothing wrong in joining the BSP as long as it accords me due respect and honour," he said, adding "We are in touch with the BSP".
Arvind also challenged his elder brother to contest elections from anywhere in the district.
