In the middle of the family feud, he reached the venue but refrained from giving any speech.
This is the first time any CM not given a speech on the occasion of Police Smriti Divas.
As a clear mark of internal rift, Akhilesh Yadav also not attended the meeting called by Mulayam Singh Yadav in Lucknow.
The state is going for Assembly election in 2017 and at this crucial point of time the internal fight in the ruling Samajwadi Party may affect it negatively.
The fight in Mulayam Singh Yadav’s family is taking new twists and turns every day.
The battle which started between Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Shivpal Yadav has now reached till the doors of CM’s stepmother and second wife of Netaji, Sadhna Gupta.
Party legislator and another supporter of Akhilesh Yadav, Udayveer Singh (an MLC), accused Mulayam Singh’s second wife of being part of the conspiracy against Uttar Pradesh CM and said the party patriarch needed to make way for his son.
The four-page letter of the MLC marked a major escalation. Udayveer Singh was elected from the SP-stronghold of Etah-Mainpuri.
Udayveer has directly put the blame of conspiracy on Sadhna Gupta and wrote in his letter that the efforts to dishonour Akhilesh began after Mulayam proposed his name for the CM’s post of the state.
