Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav on Monday met uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav at his residence amid speculation that the Jaswantnagar MLA would be given major responsibility in the party.
Akhilesh Yadav reached Shivpal Yadav's residence at Vikramaditya Marg where he is said to have discussed strengthening of the party's organisation.
"Akhileshji met Shivpalji at his residence in the evening. I don't know about the discussions between them. This is a matter of the family," Rajendra Chowdhury, the Samajwadi Party's chief spokesperson, told PTI.
When asked if Shivpal Yadav would be given a major responsibility in the party, Chowdhury said, "Yes. Shivpalji will be given a big responsibility."He said the constitution of the party's national and state executives would be done soon, maybe this month.
Akhilesh Yadav dissolved all party units, only retaining state unit chief Naresh Uttam, last July.
One party leader said Shivpal Yadav might be given responsibility at the national level and his experience utilised for the 2024 General Elections.
