Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav spoke for almost 45 minute, addressing a rally in support of his brother Shivpal Singh Yadav at Jaswantnagar on Monday and without mentioning his son, he stressed that the ‘ownership of the party still rested with him’.
“I still have the khasra (ownership) of Samajwadi Party though the khatauni (tilling agreement) has gone to someone else,” Mulayam said and added that party had not gone old but it is too young. “ Shivpal is closer to the youth than any other leader of the party,” he claimed.
These words elicited a loud scream of approval. The public meeting was held at Hindu College in the heart of Jaswantnagar town on National Highway -2, where Netaji said that the Assembly elections in UP were very crucial for the country.
