Embattled Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav today received an 'option B' with Lok Dal offering its symbol and national president post to him in case the SP symbol 'cycle' was frozen by the Election Commission. "I want Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to understand that his uncle Ramgopal Yadav is working under pressure of CBI to save his son and daughter in Yadav Singh case. "I want them (Mulayam-Akhilesh) to resolve the dispute and if it does not happen and cycle symbol goes to Akhilesh or EC freezes it, Lok Dal is with Mulayam," he said. "I have met Mulayam Singh and offered him to contest the elections on our symbol," he said. In 2012 elections, Lok Dal had contested 76 seats and but all their candidates lost in the polls.
