LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav announced on Tuesday that "my family and party stand united" with evidence strongly suggesting the opposite: son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was missing from the press conference , while his uncle Shivpal, with whom he has a running dispute, was seated next to Mulayam Singh, who heads the Samajwadi Party.
There is no dispute inside our family,Mulayam Singh Yadav said.
Here are some conference updates below:
43-years-old Akhilesh Yadav son of Mulayam Singh yadav has cleared that he does not want to launch a political start-up, but. Elections in Uttar Pradesh are due soon, so the Yadavs ' feud is a high-risk family venture.
Mulayam Singh used the press conference to address his son. "He must be watching this," said the Samajwadi Party chief, when asked about stress points with his son including the expulsion of young leaders seen as close to him. After the meet with reporters, hundreds of supporters of Akhilesh blocked the entrance to the party office with large protests.
While emphasizing that Akhilesh remains Chief Minister, his father cleared that a second term is not a given if the party wins the election. "First give us a majority and then we will see," said Mulayam Singh.
Akhilesh has been largely credited for the Samajwadi Party sweeping the 2011 state election because of his rebranding of the Samajwadi Party as one committed to the development and education of Uttar Pradesh ' s youth.
In the national election three years later, the Samajwadi Party won just five of 80 seats, allowing the anti-Akhilesh lobby with Shivpal as its heavy-hitter to claim that on Akhilesh ' s watch, the popularity of the party was quickly sliding.
Akhilesh ' s conditions for a compromise: the sidelining of Shivpal and Amar Singh, who was expelled from the Samajwadi Party in 2010, but has re-established himself as one of Mulayam ' s closest confidantes.
Shivpal, removed on Sunday from the cabinet by Akhilesh, has received Mulayam Singh ' s firm endorsement in virtually every fight he has picked with Akhilesh in recent months.
Last month, Mulayam Singh also removed his son as head of the party in Uttar Pradesh; Shivpal replaced him, which meant that it was not Akhilesh but his uncle who would largely decide the party ' s candidates for the approaching election.
