In a development that might provide relief to the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP), has reportedly agreed to support the UPA’s presidential candidate. Congress sources claim that unlike the Trinamool Congress, the Samajwadi Party is likely to be flexible on reform policies. Mulayam Singh’s growing proximity to the Centre was evident on Tuesday when he occupied a position of importance at the UPA-II's third anniversary dinner. He was seen sharing the stage and the high table with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Later at the dinner, Mulayam was seen sitting next to UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
