SP Feud: Akhilesh to reinstate Shivpal & ministers

TIL Desk/National/UP/ A day after high drama at a key meeting of the ruling Samajwadi Party, its state unit chief Shivpal Yadav today said all was well in the party as he visited Mulayam Singh Yadav’s residence and was joined in later by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

“All is well in the party and the Mulayam family. I am with ‘netaji’ (Mulayam). We will abide by whatever directive is given by him,” he said. In a fresh twist to the entire Yadav feud, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday is set to reinstate his uncle and state president Shivpal Yadav back into the cabinet along with three other ministers who were suspended in a series of revenge sackings during the weekend. Sources said that a letter in this regard will be sent to Governor Ram Naik from the CM’s office and the ministers are also likely to take fresh oath.

The development comes a day after party Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav made multiple attempts on Sunday to broker a truce between the two warring factions within the party. Mulayam’s efforts to strike a peace deal between his son and brother hit multiple hurdles after Akhilesh and Shivpal indulged in an open spat on the podium at the venue of the party meeting.
