Mulayam joins chorus for SC probe into coalgate

The love-hate relationship between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress continued today with Mulayam Singh Yadav joining hands with Left parties and the TDP to demand a Supreme Court probe into coal allocations.

Yadav's announcement today of bringing together non-NDA Opposition on the stalling of Parliament comes a day after his party's government in Uttar Pradesh passed an order for providing interruption-free power in Amethi and Rae Bareli districts on the request of Congress President Sonia Gandhi. Observers feel that there has been a kind of flip-flop in Samajwadi Party's attitude towards the Congress.
 The SP, which supports the UPA government from outside, however, fought the Congress vehemently in UP where it captured power earlier this year.
