New Delhi:
Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav on Thursday resigned from all party and government posts following a 20minutes long meeting with his party’s supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow, earlier in the day. Shivpal’s wife and son also resigned form their respective posts bestowed by the party.
The former SP state chief Shivpal was centre of the Yadav family feud after he was removed from three cabinets posts by his nephew Akhilesh and was made state SP chief as retaliation by his brother Mulayam.
Before the matter escalated to mass resignations by the Shivpal family, the Yadav’s had stuck to the statement that ‘there is no rift’ and that minor difference would easily be resolved after a face-to-face with the CM. But the tide seems to have taken the opposite turn.
