Mulayam Singh likely to hold press conference : Speculations of formal split in SP

Lucknow, Jan 7 (IBNS) : As the feud within Uttar Pradesh's ruling Samajwadi Party goes on high steam, party patriarch Mualyam Singh Yadav is likely to address a press conference on Saturday, stoking speculations that he could pronounce his political separation from son Akhilesh spelling a formal split in the organisation, media reports said.

On Friday, Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav reportedly  ignored the pitch his father made for respectable rehabilitation of Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh, the two big Mulayam loyalists, who were ousted by the dominant faction, as a way to heading for a truce

Akhilesh  had held a “national convention” of the party on Sunday and replaced his father with himself as party national President, sacked Shivpal as state unit president and suspended Amar from the party.

In the entire sordid tale that threatens to spoil  the Samajwadi Party's prospects in the coming  state Assembly elections, the Yadav family stands vertically split as does the party, with two of Mulayam's siblings commandeering the two opposing factions. 

The divide within the family puts the party in a highly disadvantageous position with the BJP stomping its feet with renewed vigour to have a solid foothold in the core of the Hindi heartland.
