Amar Singh was the former general secretary of the Samajwadi Party, and was very close Mulayam Singh Yadav, who was the party founder. However, it is said that that relationship soured over time and in 2010, Amar Singh ended up resigning from all posts he held at the party, and was even soon expelled from SP.
