Lucknow: Hours after Samajwadi party president Mulayam Singh Yadav made Shivpal Singh Yadav state party chief, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in an unexpected manner stripped Shivpal of important portfolios of PWD and irrigation.

Sending shock wave among the party men, Akhilesh retaliated after being replaced by Shivpal as the state party chief.

The chain of event started with the sacking of mining minister Gayatri Prajapati, on Monday, followed by the statement of Mulayam Singh that he was not consulted by the CM for the decision.

In another related development, CM Akhilesh, on Tuesday, removed Deepak Singhal and posted Rahul Bhatnagar as the new Chief Secretary. Prajapati and Singhal are said to be close to Mulayam and the decision of Akhilesh has reportedly not gone well with the party Supremo.

Immediately after getting the news of Shivpal being divested of the important charges his supporters gathered at his residence raising slogans against Akhilesh.

According to some internal party sources Shivpal, who was out of Lucknow, may resign from all the party posts which may deepen the rift in the Yadav family.
