Mulayam singh Yadav on Sunday called the National Executive Summit of Samajwadi Party on January 5, at same place i.e. Janeshwar Mishra park in Lucknow. 

The war in Samajwadi Party was far from over on Sunday with a defiant Ram Gopal Yadav declaring Akhilesh Yadav as party president at the national convention in Lucknow which was declared as “unconstitutional” by supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav.

The convention, attended by thousands of SP workers, unanimously “expelled” Amar Singh and removed Shivpal Singh Yadav from the post of state unit president.

The national convention proposed that Mulayam be considered as supreme leader of the party and that the top brass will take guidance from him, Ram Gopal Yadav said addressing the workers.

Earlier, after a massive show of strength by Akhilesh Yadav, who was expelled from SP by father Mulayam Singh Yadav, the party supremo on Saturday backed down revoking with immediate effect the expulsion orders of his son and brother Ramgopal.

After hectic confabulations involving Akhilesh Yadav’s warring uncle Shivpal Yadav, Mulayam and the Chief Minister, Shivpal tweeted that on the SP supremo’s directive, expulsion of Akhilesh and Ramgopal Yadav from SP was being revoked with immediate effect.

“I am coming after having met party chief Mulayam Singh along with CM Akhilesh Yadav. Netaji has given the order that the suspension orders of Akhilesh and Ram Gopal are terminated with immediate effect,” Shivpal said.
