Khan, who was also involved in a feud with party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh on Jaya Prada's candidature from Rampur, took the decision a day after the 47-year-old cine star won the Lok Sabha polls.
Khan's decision came while the SP's Parliamentary Board meeting was still in progress in New Delhi. Party sources said Khan has not been attending any of the board meetings in the last six months.
