FORMER Chief Minister of UP Mulayam Singh’s clan
had a fierce fight just before the assembly elections. Following
demonetisation, the three main actors of the family-former Chief Minister of UP
Akhilesh Yadav, his uncle Ram Gopal Yadav, and Shivpal Yadav-were more worried
about saving their alleged unaccounted wealth and avoiding the pressure of
investigating agencies rather than saving the seat of power in Lucknow. Akhilesh
Yadav still has the support of Ram Gopal Yadav along with the younger brigade
of the Yadav clan. When Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Naresh Agarwal
hosted a party at a Delhi hotel in July 2107 to celebrate fellow MP Ram Gopal
Yadav’s silver jubilee in Parliament, he had a surprise guest-Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. Modi not only found time to join the celebration, but also spoke
glowingly about Ram Gopal’s political career and services as an MP. Meanwhile,
the gap has widened between Ram Gopal and Shivpal Yadav. Shivpal has chosen
another way. He is increasingly seen with maverick Amar Singh and owner of Zee
TV Subhash Goyal, a newly elected Rajya Sabha member. This trimurti is seen in
parties, meetings and dinners together. It’s learnt that Amar Singh and Subhash
Goyal are pampering Shivpal to invest his alleged unaccounted wealth into their
ventures. Also, Shivpal has reportedly bought a house in the posh Jorbagh
colony in Delhi. Watch this space for more updates.
