Samajwadi Party chief and former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav once again met his uncle Shivpal on Monday. This meeting is considered important in view of the speculation that Shivpal will soon be given some major responsibility in the SP organization.
SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary told that party chief Akhilesh Yadav has met his uncle Shivpal Yadav. However, nothing can be said about what was discussed between the two of them. Although the National President has asked him to take a big responsibility. Chaudhary said that the national and provincial organizations of SP will expand very soon.
Significantly, after the victory of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s wife Dimple Yadav in the Mainpuri by election, Shivpal was inducted into the party by Akhilesh. By giving the SP flag, he was included in his party. In the year 2018, after separating from the SP, he formed the Progressive Samajwadi Party Lohia and in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he contested against SP candidate Akshay Yadav from Firozabad seat, although Shivpal couldn’t win.
Since the death of Mulayam Singh Yadav, there had been a lot of softening in the relationship between uncle and nephew. Then after giving ticket to Dimple Yadav for election from Mainpuri, Akhilesh met uncle Shivpal. Then Shivpal blessed Dimple and also campaigned in support.
