IS ALL WELL WITHIN THE SAMAJWADI PARTY?

Mulayam Singh Yadav is trying hard to put a lid on the feud within the Samajwadi Party (SP) and brush away turmoil saying they are all united (Mulayam puts on show of unity, but Akhilesh missing, October 26). However, Akhilesh’s absence from the press conference held in an apparent show of unity has raised speculations and left many wondering if all is well within the party. The mind games seem to have started. The vote bank is open for a dramatic turnaround. The Yadavs’ turmoil within the SP seems to have paved the way for a new beginning. The present political developments in Uttar Pradesh are coming in the way of normal functioning. The decisions may take time. With the UP polls around the corner, it would be prudent to ensure that the differences of opinion are settled in the interest of the people of the state. This will produce effective results.
