New Delhi, Feb 14 (IT): A day after Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav backed current Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the prime ministerial candidate in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha election, former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi has now said Yadav's statements has no relevance.

Her exact words were, "Unki umar ho gayi hai. Yaad nahi rehta hai kab kya bol denge. Unki boli ka koi mayene nahi rakhta hai [He is old now. He can't remember what to say when. His statements bear no relevance.]"

Yesterday in Lok Sabha, Mulayam Singh Yadav said, "I wish that PM Modi, you should become the prime minister again. I have experienced that whenever I met you, you got my work done instantly."

Soon after, posters thanking the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav were put up in Lucknow for his support to Narendra Modi as the next Prime Minister.

Rajya Sabha MP and former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh said Mulayam Yadav's remark in the Lok Sabha was "just to create confusion."

Talking about Mulayam's statement in Lok Sabha, senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan said he is upset with Mulayam's statements in the Lok Sabha. "Bahut dukh hua hai ye sunkar. Ye bayan unke munh me daala gaya hai. Ye bayan Mulayam Ji ka nahi hai, ye bayan Neta Ji se dilwaya gaya hai [I am upset after knowing this. These are not his words. Someone has put these words in his mouth.]"
