MSY COMES TO AKHILESH’S RESCUE

Lucknow: The political events of UP in the last decade testify that SP Patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav has tactically passed the baton of his political legacy to his son Akhilesh Yadav, as well as, whenever the SP Chief was in trouble, then the SP founder turned up to play the role of succourer for former.

In the pre-2012 era, it was Shivpal who used to wield a lot of influence in SP after Mulayam.After 2012, when two contenders for the power of UP, Shivpal and Akhilesh came forward, Mulayam preferred latter over former for the CM post. It is obvious that the SP founder had clearly expressed his intention to hand over his political legacy to his son instead of his brother.

Mulayam publicly reprimanded Akhilesh Yadav several times during latter’s tenure as the CM. Even during an official event in the year 2015, Mulayam Singh publicly rebuked his son and then CM Akhilesh.

Political observers believe that all these efforts of rebuke were done under diplomacy. Had Mulayam been serious, he would have taken some kind of action against those who were not standing up to his expectations.

Also, then SP supremo could have done this privately or at the most at party forum behind closed doors.

Those who know Mulayam closely believe that by admonishing the government of his own son, he seeks to function as a safety valve, airing the grievances of the people.

In 2016, when there was a public feud between Shivpal and Akhilesh, Shivpal got carried away, only to realize that he had got cornered by his elder brother.

In the recently held assembly elections, there was a tough fight for Karhal seat. Then without caring about his health, Mulayam Singh campaigned in favor of his son. Regarding this, PM Modi took a swipe at Akhilesh in a rally by saying that the SP Chief was insecure about winning Karhal, therefore he brought Samajwadi Party patriarch to campaign for him in the elections.
