In the high pitch drama of Samajwadi Party in UP, ultimately today, the CM Akhilesh emerged as the main winner and his villainous uncle Shivpal Yadav lost the ground. The drama is showing new turns and twists daily; so it has now become difficult to say that which is the final climax. Today also it was one more day of one more climax, when a patch-up was again worked out between the two fractions of the ruling party of UP.
The two main stars of the CM camp, Akhilesh Yadav and his supporting uncle Ramgopal Yadav were expelled from the party by the party’s National President Mulayam Singh Yadav, yesterday. But on the very next day, i.e. today the table turns upside down. The main reason was the show of strength by the Akhilesh supporters on the streets of Lucknow and in the early morning meeting of MLA’s at the residence of the CM. As per the media reports, a total of 198 MLA’s and 34 MLC’s gave their presence in the meeting called at 9 a.m. However, the meeting was delayed for around an hour to get all the supporting leaders together in the meeting.
After only few selected speeches, CM Akhilesh delivered a very emotional speech and stated that he is not at all against his father Mulayam Singh and respect him very much. He also said that, he want to earn a victory in the coming assembly polls and to offer it to the father Mulayam Singhji.
In the simultaneous development at the Mulayam’s place, party’s another senior leader Azam Khan played the role of the peace maker and talked with Mulayam, in the completely changed scenario. The change in the scenario, there was because the meeting called by his brother and party’s state president Shivpal Yadav became a flop show and only 15 MLA’s and some people declared as party candidates in the list of Shivpal and Mulayam came to attend the meeting. Hence, the yesterday’s high morale of Mulayam-Shivpal camp went very down, today. In that situation Azam khan talked with Mulayam and made him ready to meet with Akhilesh and save the party from a split. Then he met with Akhilesh and brought him at the Mulayam’s residence.
Thus a crucial meeting held between Mulayam and Akhilesh, with mediation of Azam khan and later in presence of Shivpal Yadav too at around noon. As a result of this meeting the expulsion of Akhilesh and Ramgopal was revoked and now the two fraction of SP are again united with a new patch-up and new power equation among the ambivalent leaders. It is now sure that Akhilesh camp will have an upper hand over all important decisions of the party, including the choice of assembly candidates. It is uncertain that Shivpal Yadav will remain the State President or not and Amarsingh will remain in SP or not; but it is certain that he will not have significant say in major decisions of the party.
