Lucknow, 16th Dec. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday met his uncle, and leader of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia), Shivpal Singh Yadav at his residence. This meet has again started the speculation of their joining hands once again before the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
Akhilesh Yadav reached Shivpal’s residence in the afternoon and had closed door talks with him for almost 40 minutes.
Many supporters of both the parties gathered outside Shivpal’s residence and raised the slogan “Chacha-Bhatija zindabad”.
SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav was also present at Shivpal’s residence before Akhilesh reached there, SP sources said.
Though there is no official word regarding the meeting by the two parties, it assumes significance ahead of the assembly polls.
The relationship between both the leaders had gone sour in 2016 with the sacking of Shivpal by Akhilesh when he was Chief Minister.
Akhilesh became the Samajwadi Party President in Jan 2017 and Shivpal formed his own party.
