LEFT IN THE LURCH
Why Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is upset with his party leaders
MULAYAM SINGH YADAV
SP President
Feels isolated by his father, who has distanced himself from the Muzaffarnagar riots, leaving Akhilesh to bear the brunt alone
SHIVPAL SINGH YADAV
PWD Minister, UP
Feels his uncle, who wanted to become chief minister ahead of Akhilesh, could use the opportunity to dislodge him
AZAM KHAN Urban Development Minister, UP
Feels his influence is being actively undermined by Khan, who is not averse to criticising the state government in his speeches
RAM GOPALYADAV National General
Secretary, SP
Feels his uncle and staunchest supporter didn’t advise him well on how to deal with Muzaffarnagar
