Samajwadi Party National President and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has reached Delhi on Wednesday morning to meet party’s stalwart leader Azam Khan. This is the first meeting of the two leaders after Azam Khan came out of jail on interim bail. Earlier, speculations were being made between Akhilesh Yadav and Azam Khan of bitterness and estrangement.
Let us inform that the health of SP MLA Azam Khan had suddenly deteriorated in the past, after which he was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi. Since then he is being treated here.
Had trouble in breathing
Azam Khan’s son Abdullah Khan had taken him to the hospital on Saturday night due to shortness of breath. He is undergoing treatment at the Medical Department of the hospital and his condition is said to be stable.
According to the information, Abdullah Khan had reached his father Azam Khan at three o’clock on Saturday night complaining of difficulty in breathing. Here a team of doctors has examined his health and admitted him to the Department of Medicine and have been here since then.
However, the doctors of the hospital are refraining from saying anything in this matter. Let us inform that after being in Sitapur Jail for 27 months, he came out on anticipatory bail on May 20 on the orders of the Supreme Court. His health deteriorated even during his stay in jail. At the same time, in May last year, he got corona infection. He was admitted to Medanta Hospital in Lucknow when his condition worsened.
The news of acrimony between the two leaders is coming out for a long time
After the Uttar Pradesh elections, reports of displeasure between Akhilesh and Azam are coming to the fore. On the one hand, while leaders of other parties including Congress and BSP came to meet Azam in jail, Azam’s son Abdullah also targeted Akhilesh in gestures several times for not supporting Azam.
Even when Azam Khan was released from jail, Shivpal Yadav definitely reached Sitapur Jail to pick him up but Akhilesh Yadav did not go there. After this, when Azam did not attend the meeting of the SP’s legislature party in the Lucknow assembly, then the discussions of increasing the distance between the two leaders intensified.
