Threat from Mulayam,Maya: Amar

On the SP chief reportedly writing a letter to the Centre to cut down his security,Singh said: 8220;It is a matter of joy for me that Yadav is neither the home minister nor the Prime Minister. Mulayam himself has been threatened by Mayawati,and I have received threats from both of them.8221;

Singh also raised the demand for a separate Purvanchal state and said he would launch 400-km padyatra from Allahabad to Gorakhpur to press for the demand.

8220;Eastern UP should be declared as a separate Purvanchal state. Chief Minister Mayawati should get a proposal of a separate state passed in the House and send it to the Centre. Merely writing a letter to the Prime Minister by Mayawati would not serve the purpose,8221; said Singh.

Contrary to SP8217;s stance against English and computer education,Singh said he would promote both in villages and soon appoint teachers in 27.
