Shivpal Yadav announces Mulayam Singh as the President of his new party

Etawah: It is now clear that the Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav has finally decided to leave his son's side and support the new political venture of Shivpal Yadav, named as 'Secular Morcha'.

One of the major role players of the Samajwadi clan feud drama that took place during the 2017 UP assembly polls, Shivpal Yadav, on Friday, announced Mulayam Singh Yadav as the National President of his political party 'Secular Morcha'.

It is worth mentioning that Shivpal Yadav has not yet resigned from the Samajwadi party but has clearly indicated that he would soon handover his resignation to the SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, with whom he presently has sour relations.
