Quite close to Mulayam Singh Yadav
There was a time when Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh used to trust him a lot but with Akhilesh taking the reins of the party, Amar was sidelined. However, there was a time when Amar Singh was considered suitable for the party. From the networking to all the important responsibilities were on his shoulders.
