PTI, LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav Thursday made clear that he is upset with the alliance forged by his son and party president Akhilesh Yadav with the Bahujan Samaj Party.

Mulayam Singh Yadav expressed  unhappiness over the Uttar Pradesh pact ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, questioning why Akhilesh Yadav gave half the seats to Mayawati's party.

The remarks come days after SP patriarch created a stir in Parliament, saying he wished that Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns to power.

Addressing party workers at the SP headquarters here, he urged them to approach him for the ticket to contest the parliamentary polls and suggested that he could “change” any decision taken by his son.

Soon after the party patriarch's comments, the SP and the BSP released the list of Lok Sabha constituencies shared between the two alliance partners. The SP now gets 37 seats and the BSP 38.

“Now, tell me the basis for giving away half the seats. Now we have only half the seats left. Our party was stronger," Mulayam Singh Yadav said.
