Mulayam-Akhilesh’s open fight is first of a kind in Indian politics. Mulayam has openly criticised his son on multiple occasions, even publicly reprimanded Akhilesh, siding with his cousin Shivpal and in recent times with Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh.

Akhilesh’s letter, almost dares Mulayam as the chief minister said he won’t be available at the silver jubilee function of the party to be held in Lucknow on 5 November under the aegis of Mulayam and Shivpal.

Read the letter below:

The letter almost gives the impression that Akhilesh is ready to part ways from the uneasy company of his family. Akhilesh’s letter, almost dares Mulayam as the chief minister said he won’t be available at the silver jubilee function of the party to be held in Lucknow on 5 November under the aegis of Mulayam and Shivpal. Basically, Akhilesh just indirectly told his father that he has better things to do with his time. Akhilesh knows that in the last five years, as a chief minister he has made a mark in the state politics. As the face of the SP, he is largely seen as a sincere, young and energetic leader, who has been constantly pulled in different direction by father, uncles, outsiders and so on. And Akhilesh is SP’s best bet before the crucial state assembly polls.

This news will benefit BSP, BJP and Congress in upcoming UP election.
