In a bid to garner Muslim votes, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh on Sunday said that if voted to power, his party would ensure amendments to the Constitution to provide reservation for Muslims.

Muslamano ne desh ko banaya hai aur musalamano ke liye sanvidhan mein sanshodhan karke arakshan diya jayega (Muslims have made this country, and for Muslims, amendments would be made in the Constitution for their reservation),” the SP supremo said, addressing an election rally in Etah district.

Addressing another election rally backing Akshay Yadav, son of SP national general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav, he said, “Only SP can prevent BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi from becoming the Prime Minister of the country.”

He was confident that the Third Front would form the next govern-ment at the Centre.
