Modern-day Mahabharata in UP as ‘PATRIARCH’ Mulayam unable to pacify and settle warring cousins!

THE INTERNAL STORY OF HOW AND WHY, APARNA YADAV DEFECTED NOT JUST HER PARTY BUT EVEN FAMILY TO JOIN THE BJP!

Lucknow: One of the most widely read and appreciated epic from Indian history has been the Mahabharata, which has not only left an indelible civilizational mark on land but also left its stamp on the psyche and even the politics of the nation.

But, like they say history repeats itself, it seems that the grandest epic is being repeated in the present day and age, and in fact in the same region as all those eons ago - Yesterday’s Hastinapur, today’s Uttar Pradesh. But the parallels don’t end there.

In the epic was a family and two sets of opposing groups and in the ‘Kaliyuga’ Mahabharata too, there is one family and two sets of opposing groups! Interestingly, here too both the factions are aiming for political power. Let us clear the smoke.

The family is ‘Netaji’ Mulayam Yadav’s and the groups are Akhilesh Yadav’s and the other being, Aparna Yadav - the wife of Mulayam’s second wife’s son.

On Wednesday, amidst much pomp and fanfare, Aparna joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is being seen as a major blow to the SP and particularly the Yadav family.

But what transpired that Aparna had to enter BJP, against the family and deal this shocker to the SP right before elections?

Informed sources in the ‘relevant circles’ close to Aparna and Akhilesh, reveal that almost 16 years ago, there was an agreement between her husband -Prateek Yadav - and Akhilesh Yadav.

According to the agreement, the parties had agreed that only Akhilesh will be the heir to the father’s political legacy’, thereby pushing Prateek to a ‘Vanvasa’, hypothetically speaking.

Furthermore, it was also agreed upon that Mulayam’s second wife - Sadhna Gupta’s son - Prateek will never enter politics.

In fact, just like the Kuru land was divided equally between Hastinapur and Indraprastha, similar, in the modern version too, at the time of the agreement, Mulayam’s property was also divided equally between the two brothers - Akhilesh and Prateek.

However, much like Akhilesh’s wife Dimple, Aparna too wanted her ‘right’ in the party and due to this insistence of Aparna, SP gave her ticket in 2017. She contested and tasted defeat.

However, she blamed Akhilesh for her defeat. In such a situation, Akhilesh Yadav, this time around, did not give the ticket to any family member and the political circles are rife with this belief that after this decision of Akhilesh, Aparna came in contact with BJP and formally accepted the membership of BJP.

So battleground ‘Kurukshetra’ (UP) is ready to witness yet another Mahabharata, and this time too, the victor will rewrite the history of the land!
