In a major shock to his father and head honcho of the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav on the very first day of 2017, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav yesterday ousted Mulayam Singh Yadav to occupy the party’s President post.
In a convention that was held at the Janeshwar Misra Park with the support of more than 200 of the party’s 229 MLAs and 30 MLCs and more than 5,000 cadres on the New Year day, Akhilesh’s close confidant and Samajwadi Party’s senior leader Ram Gopal Yadav also ousted Akhilesh’s uncle turned foe Shivpal Yadav as state party chief, and showed the door to “outsider” Amar Singh, the alleged mastermind for the family feud in the Yadav clan.
The convention also moved a resolution to honour Mulayam with the party patron’s post. Further, the convention also authorised Akhilesh to constitute the party’s national executive, parliamentary board and various state units.
However, the party’s grand old man Mulayam wrote a scathing letter in which he alleged that the convention had been called without his permission and so all the resolutions made stand invalid. Even Mulayam had called for a counter national convention on January 5 at the same venue.
While all the party’s leaders who graced Akhilesh’s convention gave a deaf ear to Mulayam’s warning of disciplinary action, the UP CM on the other hand has warned that he will counter the conspirators who have been trying to sabotage the party’s chances in the upcoming assembly elections by giving tickets to undeserving candidates. Akhilesh also stated that he has respected his father more than anyone ever.
