The Samajwadi Party family feud, between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav, is growing uglier by the day
The latest in the ‘parivar’ is the curious case of two different signatures of party supremo Mulayam Singh on crucial orders he issued on 1 January.
The first order was to declare Akhilesh’s party convention as being unconstitutional while the second letter was sent to party vice-president Kiranmoy Nanda, sacking him from primary membership of the party for being present at Akhilesh’s meeting.
The letters were issued only a few hours apart, but the significant differences between Mulayam’s signatures have sparked speculation about the veracity of the documents.
Nanda responded to the controversy by saying the signature on his expulsion letter was not Netaji’s.
