Aditya Yadav, son of the state president of the Samajwadi party Shivpal Yadav is another star on the horizon from the first family of the ruling party to make debut in politics.
Aditya Yadav addressed the big political rally in Ghazipur on Wednesday.
Aditya in his address slammed the prime minister for the withdrawal of the high value currency notes. He also criticised the move of the Centre to restrict the banks in the co operative sector from exchanging the old currency notes. He said the move of the Centre would destroy the cooperative movement in the country besides causing hardships to the farmers who were the prime customers of the cooperative banks.
It is widely believed in Etawah that Aditya will contest the next assembly election from the Jaswant Nagar assembly seat in Etawah. Jaswant nagar assembly seat is the pocket borough of the first family of the Samajwadi party, for the last over three decades. Earlier Mulayam Singh was elected from this seat and presently Shivpal Yadav represents this seat.
Ever since he was appointed as the state president of the party in September last, Shivpal Yadav has intensified the efforts of grooming his son in politics. Shivpal had regularly been meeting the party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav along with son. for the last three months Aditya Yadav is a regular visitor to the state office of the party.
Moreover he is accompanying his father during his visits to Delhi and other places in the state. Ahead of the November 5 silver jubilee foundation day programme of the party Shivpal Yadav had visited Delhi to invite Ajit Singh of lok Dal and Sharad Yadav of the Janata Dal (United) for the programme. He had also held talks for the alliance with Ajit Singh and his son Aditya was present in all the meetings.
Following the family feud, Shivpal Yadav had said that Aditya will neither contest the election nor enter politics and he will continue to serve the people through the cooperative movement. Aditya Yadav is presently the elected chairman of the Pradesh Cooperative Federation, an apex cooperative body engaged in the business of agriculture inputs.
