Uttar Pradesh : Birthday of Mulayam Singh, Akhilesh was seen very close to father, uncle Shivpal was alone
Has his younger brother Shivpal Yadav been left behind in getting Mulayam Singh Yadav’s blessings? The pictures that surfaced on the occasion of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s birthday on Monday indicate something similar. Akhilesh Yadav was seen very close to father and party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav at the SP headquarters in Lucknow. He honored Netaji by first wearing a shawl and then got the cake cut by holding hands. During this, there was a wonderful bonding between the two and Mulayam Singh Yadav was seen blessing the son. During this, another member of the family, said to be close to Akhilesh, Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav was also present.
While Akhilesh celebrated his father’s birthday with pomp at the SP headquarters in Lucknow, Shivpal, who lived like a shadow with Netaji for decades, was present alone in Saifai. He cut the cake on the occasion of Netaji’s birthday in the village itself and on one side in the speech, wishing everyone good luck, he was seen giving an ultimatum to Akhilesh. Shivpal Yadav clearly said that if Akhilesh Yadav does not take a decision on his merger or alliance with Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party within a week, then he will convene a conference in Lucknow and decide on the future strategy.
Celebrating the birthday of Shivpal Yadav, who was once the closest of Mulayam Singh Yadav, alone in Saifai indicates that all is still not well in the family. Apart from this, Akhilesh is also not seen in the mood to give him a quote at the moment. In his address in Lucknow, Mulayam Singh Yadav talked about strengthening the Samajwadi Party and asked the youth to take part in the revolution, but did not make any mention of Shivpal Yadav. Not only this, he also did not say anything about any kind of agreement between the two parties or to stop the split. This indicates that perhaps Mulayam Singh’s blessings lie with the son more than the younger brother.
