Akhilesh Yadav is learnt to be working overtime to give a new face to his Samajwadi Party. He had a long meeting with his father Mulayam Singh Yadav last week to discuss future strategies of the party. Akhilesh made it amply clear to his father that he can’t tolerate uncle Shivpal anymore. He also mentioned that Shivpal was in touch with the BJP before the Assembly elections and returned to SP only when he was put down by the BJP that either he should join the BJP or start his own regional party which too should be merged into the BJP later. Akhilesh wants Shivpal to be sent to Delhi somehow so that he himself can run the party as per his wishes. Sources claim that at least three members of Akhilesh’s family are likely to be denied tickets in next Lok Sabha elections – Dimple Yadav, Ram Gopal’s son Akshay and Mulayam’s nephew Tej Pratap Yadav who also happens to be the son-in-law of Lalu Yadav.
