SP patron Mulayam Singh Yadav has punctured the 'cycle', while Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's feuding uncle Shivpal has broken its chain.

During the father-son meeting, a list was handed over to the young Chief Minister by his father.

UP's ruling party has been witnessing a fierce fight between CM Akhilesh and his uncle Shivpal despite repeated attempts by party patriarch to broker peace.

Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav is trying hard to play a peacemaker between his son Akhilesh Yadav and his brother Shivpal Singh Yadav.

Supporters of Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle and SP leader Shivpal Yadav clashed outside the party office in Lucknow on Monday.

The tussle in Samajwadi Party began last month when Mulayam Singh Yadav replaced Akhilesh Yadav with his uncle Shivpal Yadav to the post of UP party chief.

In yet another sign of worsening infighting in Samajwadi Party, MLC Udayveer Singh was on Saturday expelled from the party, a day after he accused Mulayam Singh’s second wife of being part of a conspiracy against Uttar Pradesh CM.

BSP chief Mayawati had urged the Election Commission to hold Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh by February in view of the growing power tussle between Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal.
