Days after Amar Singh, who was recently reinducted into Samajwadi Party (SP) and elected to Rajya Sabha, accused some party leaders of “humiliating” him and former SP MP Jaya Prada, the Akhilesh government has appointed the actress-turned-politician as senior deputy chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Film Development Council. Sources also said that she is likely to get a ministerial rank.
