New Delhi, India: July 4, 2008 – IR Summary/Agencies - Prime Minister Manmohan Singh  has revealed here today new facts on Indo US Nuclear deal to Samajwadi Party leaders when they met him at his residence here, swhich party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav confirmed. 

Mulayam Singh said:
 
"The country's interest is more important to us ... than politics," he said as the two groups discuss the contentious deal and the modalities of supporting the Congress-led government if the Left withdraws its support.

"We will talk to the UNPA (United National Progressive Alliance) leaders. We will brief them about our talks with the PM and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam." 

"For us politics is not priority. Our priority is country. Apart from this, one of our top priorities is to keep communal forces out of power."

As his party and the Congress inched closer to a settlement, Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh added that no decision had been taken yet.

"We have not committed anything so far. We briefed the Prime Minister about the talks we had with Abdul Kalam. We are going to meet Sonia Gandhi. We will be briefing her also on the same topic," Amar Singh said after the half-an-hour meeting with the PM.

He denied that they were bargaining for seats of the Cabinet.

“We are not blackmailing or striking a deal with the government. We are not here to make deals for any cabinet berth. We are only doing it for national interest. Our fight is against price rise and inflation. And it will continue. It is not against any individual," he said.

He said the UNPA, the regional alliance of which his party is a part, was "still intact”.

“We have the support of all our members,” he claimed.
