Lucknow, Aug 19 (IBNS): Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Amar Singh on Tuesday met Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav at his residence here amid speculations of rejoining the party.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was there in the meeting too.

According to sources, there are possibilities for Amar Singh to rejoin the party ahead of the upcoming by-polls in 12 assembly segments and one Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh.

Singh might be used to bridge the political space between the SP chief and RLD president Ajit Singh in the state during the by-election, party sources said.

Earlier, Singh had already evinced interest to join the SP if the party supremo wanted him. The RLD leader had said that Mulayam Singh Yadav was like his big brother and he had a lot of respect for him.
