“I have myself congratulated SP’s UP unit president Shivpal Yadav after meeting him at his residence. I will extend all my support to Shivpalji,” Akhilesh told reporters, trying to drive home the point that all is well in the party after the public feud between the factions led by the two leaders.
Akhilesh’s remarks came a day after he said that he felt “very sad” when he was replaced with Shivpal as the state party president by his father and party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav.
