No end to crisis in Samajwadi Party, but many in party rally behind Akhilesh Yadav

A day after SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadavattempted a patch-up between his son, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, and brother Shivpal Yadav who was sacked as minister by Akhilesh, the crisis in the party ruling Uttar Pradesh seemed far from over.
Minutes into Mulayam Singh’s press conference at the party headquarters in Lucknow Tuesday, supporters of Akhilesh began raising slogans outside. Dismissing reports about the reinstatement of four ministers sacked Sunday, Mulayam Singh had already conceded that the decision to reinstall them “rests with the Chief Minister”.
