Mulayam's second wife conspiring against Akhilesh, alleges SP MLC

A Samajwadi Party lawmaker, believed to be close to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, has written a letter to Mulayam demanding that Akhilesh Yadav be made the national president.

Udayveer Singh, a first time Member of Legislative Council, wrote a ‘private letter’ to Mulayam Singh Yadav but it has now found its way into the media.

Singh has also accused Mulayam Singh Yadav’s second wife Sadhna of harbouring ill feeling towards her stepson Akhilesh Singh Yadav.

With a subhead, ‘Personal jealousy against CM’, a section of the letter reads: “As this information came out in the open that you want Akhilesh to become the CM, conspiracies were hatched within the family. Though Akhilesh’s step-mother herself remained behind the scenes, Shivpal came forward as her political face and started contacting senior party leaders to prevent this.”

Accusing Sadhna and Shivpal Yadav of collusion, Udayveer Singh alleged that the chief minister was being subject to black magic with a view to harm him.

Udayveer further alleged that Mulayam, under pressure from the anti-Akhilesh group, pulled up the CM several times in full public view. Akhilesh, being an obedient son, did not react, he said.

However, another party MLC Ashu Malik sent a missive in favour of Mulayam, saying he was peeved over fingers being pointed at the “great leader”.

“People insulting netaji (Mulayam) today will certainly do the same with Akhilesh tomorrow,” he said in his Facebook post.

“Those writing letters advising and insulting ‘netaji’ (Mulayam) in sycophancy did not have the capacity of getting even 500 votes,” he said, adding he has seen love between father and son -- Mulayam and Akhilesh.

“Akhilesh is an ideal son and Mulayam has always performed his duties as a father. Both of them have clarified that there is no dispute in the party and those sycophants, who are writing letters are insulting both,” Malik said.
