Will accept whatever Mulayam says, Shivpal Yadav on his resignation from govt

After his dramatic resignation from party and cabinet posts, SP leader Shivpal Yadav on Friday said that he will accept any decision made by party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, "If Netaji tells me to stay on my post, I will," he told his supporters.

Earlier in the day, Yadav had said that he was with party supremo Mulayam, whose efforts to broker peace between his warring brother and son Akhilesh have proved futile till now.

Adressing the gathering of supporters outside Mulayam's house in Lucknow, Shivpal thanked his party workers for support and warned that conspirators would be punished. 

Supporters gathered outside his residence on Friday and demanded that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister should touch the feet of his uncle Shivpal and apologise.
