Differences continue to persist in SP
Lucknow, Jan 1, 2017, DHNS:
Shivpal unhappy over Mulayam's decision
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh may have avoided a split in the party by revoking the expulsions of Akhilesh Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav, but differences continue to simmer.
All eyes are now on the emergency national convention that SP general secretary Ram Gopal has convened on Sunday to discuss the existing situation.
Sources said SP’s Uttar Pradesh president Shivpal Yadav is unhappy over the way his elder brother reversed the expulsions. “What is left now, my reputation has taken a severe hit,” Shivpal is said to have commented when asked to attend the top-level meeting at Mulayam’s residence where Akhilesh was present. Ironically, Shivpal was sent to the media to break the news on Akhilesh’s and Ram Gopal’s reinstatement. The national convention called by Ram Gopal, one of the reasons for the
expulsions, will be held as scheduled.
On Friday, Mulayam had questioned Ram Gopal’s authority to convene the meeting and made it clear that it did not have his approval. He said the convention was not recognised and warned that he would take disciplinary action against those attending the meeting.
“The convention will be held as per schedule...the decision to hold the convention was taken before the expulsion....the delegates will discuss the state of affairs of the party and take appropriate decisions,” Ram Gopal said on Saturday.
Akhilesh, who is likely to attend the convention, has also asked SP legislators, ministers and office-bearers to be present.
