New Delhi: Even as West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will not attend Akhilesh Yadav's swearing in ceremony, Samajwadi supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav is still keen on using the event as a possible show of strength. He has invited several other Chief Ministers and leaders who could possibly be involved in the formation of a third front, sources say. Mulayam Singh Yadav, however, has dismissed any talks of a third front and said law and order would be top priority for the new UP government.
Mulayam Singh refuted the reports, saying "There are no such talks yet. You will see improvement in law and order after Akhilesh takes oath."
Sources say as many as 18 ministers are likely to be sworn in the Akhilesh cabinet. Also SP founder member Azam Khan has refused to accept the speaker's post. But he's likely to be given an important cabinet berth.
Azam Khan said, "I can't accept the Speaker Post as my tolerance level is low. While sitting on chair if anybody throws paper towards me I will reply with paperweight."
