Akhilesh Yadav betrayed his father and uncle for power

The SP-BSP alliance, according to Uttar Pradesh BJP spokesperson Harish Srivastava. was an opportunistic coming together of the two parties merely for the Lok Sabha elections.

Akhilesh Yadav, on the other hand, has labelled corruption and nepotism as socialist. Before joining up with Mayawati for opportunistic and selfish politics, he should have considered 100 times “In a statement, Srivastava said.
Mayawati’s life and honour were “rescued” by the BJP, which “established” her in politics and appointed her chief minister. But she was “disloyal to the BJP…How can she be loyal to the SP?” she said.

Uncle fired, father enraged: Akhilesh Yadav creates a ruckus in SP; will it be able to weather the storm?
A schism between two adamantly split groups in Uttar Pradesh’s ruling party. sucked up half a dozen victims, as the Yadav family’s feud threatens to consume it and break up the SP.
What Had Taken Place? While Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav fired his uncle Shivpal Yadav and three of his close aides from the cabinet. Mulayam Singh Yadav fired his cousin Ramgopal Yadav, the CM’s top adviser, for “colluding with the BJP.”
Akhilesh attended a conference of the party’s MPs in the state capital of Lucknow. That is when he proposed governor Ram Naik fire cabinet ministers Shivpal, Narad Rai, and Om Prakash Singh. He also asked minister of state with independent charge Sayeda Shadab Fatima, to be fired.
According to insiders, the CM openly criticised Amar Singh, whom Mulayam recently reinstated as a national general secretary after kicking him out of the party years before. accusing him of attempting to break the SP and sow conflicts between “father and son.” Azam Khan. a senior party leader, remarked, “It is the chief minister’s prerogative who to stay in the government.”
Mulayam Yadav’s Call Over This Matter
Mulayam retaliated by suspending Ramgopal from the party for six years. The news came a day after MLC Udayveer Singh, who is a close assistant to the chief minister. He got expelled from the Samajwadi Party.
Udayveer was fired a few days after sending Mulayam a scathing letter accusing his second wife of plotting against the chief minister. Akhilesh’s stepmother was also accused of employing “black magic” against him in the letter.
Shivpal, Mulayam Singh’s brother and not Akhilesh Yadav’s favourite uncle, is largely responsible for the political divide between father and son. Shivpal’s long-time opponent Ramgopal Yadav is promoting Akhilesh as the party’s “genuine and most popular leader”. Amar Singh is also blaming the chief minister’s allies for the schism that has been created now.
Shivpal told the media that Ramgopal was working with the BJP and had met with a senior leader of the ruling party three times. to avoid a CBI investigation into his and his son’s suspected participation in a corruption case. He said that the Assembly elections, will happen next year. The main party face is going to be none other than Mulayam Singh.
On Sunday, both teams formed a huddle. On Monday, Mulayam will host a gathering of his MLAs and MLCs at his residence. He told the journalists, “I will not give any reply today.” You are who you are.
