    Division in NLP; lone MP to vote for Govt.

    New Delhi (PTI): Divisions surfaced in National Loktantrik Party (NLP) Sunday, with its lone Lok Sabha MP Baleshwar Yadav deciding to vote for the government in defiance of the party whip.

    "I will vote for UPA on July 22," Yadav, an MP from Padrauna in Uttar Pradesh, told PTI.

    Yadav met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convey his support for the government.

    Reacting to Yadav's comments, NLP president Arshad Khan said, "we have already issued a whip asking our party MP to vote against the UPA government during the trust vote. And if our MP defies party whip, we will take appropriate action at the right time."

    Earlier, Khan had alleged that his party was approached with an offer of Rs 15 crore for voting for the government.

    However, Yadav denied reports of having receiving any money.
