Faultlines have resurfaced in the Yadav clan as Shivpal Yadav didn’t attend the meetings of the allies with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday. Mr. Shivpal chose to spend the day listening to Bhagavat in Etawah. The tension in the family became apparent when the uncle was not invited by the nephew to the meeting of the SP’s legislatures where Mr. Yadav was appointed as the leader of the legislative group.
Making his anguish known, Mr. Shivpal had told reporters that he was disappointed at not being invited to the meeting of party legislators. “I have won on the Samajwadi Party symbol. So, I felt that I would be invited to the meeting.” SP president Naresh Uttam Patel had played down the incident, describing Mr. Shivpal as an alliance partner and that he would be invited to the meeting pf allies.
The same day Mr. Shivpal left for Etawah and attended a meeting where the Bharatiya Janta Party candidate from Sirsaganj, Hariom Yadav, was present.
