Commenting over the tug of war between Mulayam Singh Yadav, Shivpal Yadav, Ramgopal Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav which led to a massive ruckus in the party earlier in January, Sadhna said, “Yes, I feel bad after what happened in the family. I do not blame anyone for the allegations on her.”

“No matter what, nobody should have disrespected Netaji, it is he who founded and nurtured the party. I don’t know who misled Akhilesh, he respects Netaji and me a lot,” she added.

Sadhna also commented on Shivpal’s role in party ruckus. She said, “He should not have been insulted. He was not at fault. He has done a lot for Netaji and the Samajwadi Party.”
