Former Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Shahid Siddiqui on Friday described chief minister Akhilesh Yadav's uncle Shivpal Yadav's bizarre advice for bureaucrats to be an extremely dangerous statement, and alleged that the Uttar Pradesh PWD minister wants to bring down the state government's reputation.

Terming as a 'white lie' Samajwadi Party's claim that he was not its member, former MP Shahid Siddiqui on Sunday said he was inducted by Mulayam Singh in the party fold in January this year as its spokesperson.

The Samajwadi Party on Saturday distanced itself from Shahid Siddiqui, saying he is not part of the party, two days after his interview with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi made waves.
