Amar Singh, who survived the recent “outsider” storm in ruling Samajwadi Party, has been appointed as SP General Secretary by party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday.
“You have been appointed the general secretary of Samajwadi Party. I hope in the coming days you will strengthen the party in Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections,” Mulayam said in a handwritten letter to Amar.
