Uttar Pradesh :Akhilesh Yadav meets father Mulayam over truce formula
Lucknow, Jan 10 (IBNS) : A day after Mulaym Singh Yadav signalled the possibility of a rapprochement claiming that he doesn't have disputes with his son and that the party is not going to split, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday met his father, a next door neighbour to be huddled together in a meeting in what is being perceived as an attempt to chalk out a reconciliation formula for the warring factions of Uttar Pradesh's Samajwadi Party that runs in a heavy weather before the state Assembly elections.
After weeks of bitter feuds that witnessed the father and the son leading two rival camps and moving the Election Commission to claim right over the organisation's symbol in a sign of an imminent split, Mulayam Singh dropped a broad hint of a last ditch attempt of reconciliation when he told media in New Delhi on Monday that Akhilesh will remain the Chief Minister and he will campaign for the party in the election.
"I do not have any disputes with him. The problems will be sorted out. Akhilesh will remain the Chief Minister, there is no confusion about it. I will campaign for the party in the election," he had said in another dramatic turn of situation.
, Mulayam Singh had earlier asserted several times that only he will decide who will be the Chief Minister if the Samajwadi Party is re-elected in UP, where assembly elections will be held in seven phases between February and March.
According to reports, Mulayam Singh's brother Shivpal Yadav and close aide Amar Singh were not not present at Tuesday's meeting between the father and the son.
Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh have been in the centre of Akhilesh Yadav's grudge for waging a rebellion, believed to have been fuelled by his another uncle Ram Gopal Yadav, branded by Mulayam as the sole trouble maker within the party.
Ram Gopal was instrumental in convening a party meeting on January 1 in which the Chief Minister was declared Samajwadi Party president instead of his father.
He also carried to the Election Commission six boxes of documents to prove that Akhilesh commands the loyalty of most party leaders and lawmakers.
Mulayam Singh also met the Election Commission to stake claim to the party symbol on Monday, but in an unexpected turn of event apparently waved the olive branch.
