A day after extending an olive branch to Akhilesh Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday met his rebellious son

Lucknow: A day after extending an olive branch to Akhilesh Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday met his rebellious son.

The meeting lasted for more than 90 minutes.

Akhilesh Yadav left his father’s residence without responding to media questions.

On Monday night, Mulayam Singh announced that Akhilesh would be the next Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh if Samajwadi Party retains power.

Notably, the two factions have escalated their fight in the Election Commission for the symbol ‘cycle’.

Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, however, admitted to fissures within the party.

The public admission came even as the Election Commission said it will shortly take a call on the claims on the party’s election symbol.

For a second time in a week, Mulayam Singh yesterday met Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi to assert his claim over ‘cycle’ and then blamed cousin and Rajya Sabha member Ramgopal Yadav for the feud within the party.
