Mulayam Singh likely to hold press conference : Speculations of formal split in SP
On Friday, Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav reportedly ignored the pitch his father made for respectable rehabilitation of Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh, the two big Mulayam loyalists, who were ousted by the dominant faction, as a way to heading for a truce
Akhilesh had held a “national convention” of the party on Sunday and replaced his father with himself as party national President, sacked Shivpal as state unit president and suspended Amar from the party.
In the entire sordid tale that threatens to spoil the Samajwadi Party's prospects in the coming state Assembly elections, the Yadav family stands vertically split as does the party, with two of Mulayam's siblings commandeering the two opposing factions.
The divide within the family puts the party in a highly disadvantageous position with the BJP stomping its feet with renewed vigour to have a solid foothold in the core of the Hindi heartland.
