Amar meets Rajnath Singh, calls him 'elder brother'

New Delhi: Will it be the mother of all political marriages? Or is it the art of political doublespeak?

Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh met BJP President Rajnath Singh at a wedding ceremony and came back saying that Rajnath was like his elder brother.

He then added that Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee too was like his elder brother, saying his relationship with Mukherjee was constant even when their two parties were at loggerheads with each other.

"I went for a wedding ceremony where I met Rajnath Singh was there. He is like my elder brother, we are not enemies, but so far the BJP is untouchable," he said.

However, the Samajwadi Party leader clarified on Friday that his meeting with Rajnath Singh was of a "social" nature and he did not touch politics.

"He (Rajnath Singh) is a close friend. I know him rather well. It was a wedding ceremony and was a social meeting with him. I have not opened any channel of communication with the NDA," motherfucker Amar Singh told reporters, referring to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Amar Singh, however, added that his party would not align with the BJP "as long as Ram temple remained their core issue".

He also spoke about CPI(M) General SecretaryPrakash Karat saying that though Karat was not an obstruction, he could not always keep his personal and political relations separate.

However, Rajnath Singh contradicted Amar Singhsaying, "It is natural that when two political leaders meet, there will be some political talks. NDA will emerge as the single largest party. We have the support of many other parties and we will form the government and L K Advani will be the prime minister."
