AZAM'S SHUTTLING DIPLOMACY CONTINUES IN UP; BOTH SIDES ARE ADAMANT

Suchit Bajpai; Lucknow

Amid the continuous family feud and efforts to compromise in Samajwadi party, the infighting for the party’s symbol ‘bicycle’ has reached before election commission.

Election commission, having served the notice to the both sides of Samajwadi party, said to submit the affidavit of supports.

Meanwhile the chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav, held a meeting with the supporters ministers and MLAs.

Akhilesh said the supporters to go in fray and said he is going to see the matter of party symbol.

The 206 MLAs signed the support papers in the favour of Akhilesh.

Meanwhile, Mulayam Singh reached Delhi and a meeting of supporter leaders is going on at his residence Ashoka Road. Where many of MLAs are continuously also holding the meetings in the wake of their future at some secret place in Lucknow to decide what to do, according to the information. The equation of politics in Uttar Pradesh looks changing rapidly.

Amar Singh and Jaya Prada are also present at his residence. Mr Shivpal is also in the meeting. The meeting is going on for the purpose of making the strategy of giving the response by Mulayam side to the election commission on 9th January. The legal advice is also being solicited.

The election commission on Thursday has said the both sides to submit the support affidavits of MLAs, Legislative Council Members and office bearers by 9 January.

 It is noticeable that amid the growing rift, Mulayam Singh and Akhilesh side had put their claims before the election commission. The commission has said to submit their affidavits by January 9.

seeing the compromise efforts failed in past days, Mulayam and Shivpal both left for Delhi on Thursday morning.

The pro-Mulayam leaders began to congregate there after his Delhi arrival. Mulayam and Shivpal have refused to accept the conditions of Akhilesh.

Akhilesh held a meeting with his supporters at his residence after the departure of Mulayam and Shivpal to Delhi. Akhilesh’s supporters are reiterating continuously to issue the candidates list immediately without waiting the compromise and finalise the pact with the congress.

The shuttling diplomacy by the senior minister of Akhilesh cabinet, Mr Azam Khan tried between the both sides to convince them whole day; but  the talks failed because of being adamant on their demands by the both sides.

 The biggest hurdle is the allocation of candidature ticket.

Akhilesh camp want to sideline Shivpal; Mulayam's intimate are intending to oust Mr Ram Gopal Yadav from the party because they feel, “ Akhilesh is being fomented.”

During this period, Amar Singh has filed some papers in election commission and the convention called by Akhilesh on January 1 has been dubbed illegal because it had no permission of party president.

Akhilesh says that he is going for mandate in UP and he will be back in power again. Akhilesh said, “where has to tight the nut and bolt; and where, to use the hammer will be done perfectly.”

Azam Khan appealed both sides to maintain harmony, and to work together for the election. After a long meeting at mulayam’s residence on Wednesday, Azam Khan returned to his home without any amicable solution. The meeting was in the presence of Shivpal, Narad Rai, Azam Khan, and Om Prakash. It is assumed that Azam Khan will talk  in a meeting with Akhilesh on future prospects.

Actually on many attempts it was assessed that although 'father- son' duo would have been convinced,  according to the experts; but the fostering powers which have clutched both persons separately  appear to prevent them doing so. Shivpal and Amar Singh are Mulayam’s frailties; Akhilesh has a strong support of Ram Gopal.
