Akhilesh's Uncle Shivpal Yadav Dissolves All Party Units Amid Talk of BJP Tie-Up

The Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) said the dissolution of units was just a 'routine exercise'.

Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) chief and estranged uncle of Akhilesh Yadav, Shivpal Yadav, has dissolved all its state working committees, national and state working cells and spokespersons, as per an official statement on Friday, 15 April.

The development has intensified speculations that Shivpal Yadav may join hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which swept the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in March. Aditya Yadav, the national general secretary of PSP-L and Shivpal's son, announced the dissolution order.
