The feud in the Samajwadi Party’s Yadav family surfaced again on Friday with senior leader Shivpal Yadav announcing that a “secular morcha” will be formed under the leadership of his elder brother and founder of the party Mulayam Singh.
Shivpal’s statement comes days after he handed an ultimatum to his nephew and SP president Akhilesh Yadav to hand over the top post of the party to his father Mulayam within three months of the election.
While making the announcement, Shivpal, did not mention if it amounted to his forming a separate party or merely a front within the party.
‘Shivpal confused’
“Shivpal is confused. He does not know what he wants to do,” SP Rajya Sabha member Naresh Agarwal said.
In yet another sign of his bitterness towards Shivpal, Akhilesh, without taking any names, made a jibe at his uncle.
