Once again there is a rift in Mulayam Singh Yadav’s clan. The distance between Shivpal Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav has increased. There is speculation that Shivpal Yadav, who became MLA from Jaswant Nagar seat on SP ticket, will join the Bharatiya Janata Party. While Shivpal Yadav himself has spoken of disclosing the next step at an appropriate time, Akhilesh Yadav has kept silence. Meanwhile, when the question was asked about Chacha Shivpal, SP President Akhilesh Yadav got furious and said that this is a time-wasting question.
Akhilesh Yadav was in Kannauj on Thursday. Talking to reporters here, he attacked the BJP fiercely. Called the saffron party a serial killer of democracy. During this, when he was questioned about Shivpal Yadav, his displeasure came to the fore. Akhilesh Yadav said that you should not waste time by asking questions for those things.
It is noteworthy that before the 2017 assembly elections, Akhilesh Yadav, the chief and uncle of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (PSP), who left the SP and formed a separate party, was persuaded by Akhilesh Yadav before the 2022 assembly elections. At the behest of Mulayam Singh Yadav, Shivpal also accepted Akhilesh’s support. But he was dissatisfied with getting just one seat. It is being told that after winning on SP ticket, Shivpal Yadav again demanded important responsibility in the SP organization, which Akhilesh rejected.
There is speculation that Shivpal Yadav may soon join the BJP. There is talk of sending him to the Rajya Sabha or making him a deputy speaker in the assembly. Recently, he has met UP CM Yogi Adityanath. It is being told that he has also met top BJP leaders in Delhi.
