Early in 2007, after the Congress withdrew support to Mulayam Singh Yadav8217;s government in Uttar Pradesh, the SP returned the compliment by declaring it would withdraw support to the UPA in Delhi. It now turns out that the letter withdrawing support was never been given to the President of India 8212; leaving the SP even today technically an outside supporter of the UPA, based on a letter it gave in 2004. But the two parties 8212; who had a running tu-tu mein-mein throughout 2007 8212; are on a more even keel now. The SP even dropped renegade Congressman K Natwar Singh like a hot potato after indulging him for a while, killing all hopes that Natwar had of the SP giving him a nomination for the Rajya Sabha.
