Amid the uproar over the Samajwadi’s party “cycle” symbol, the Election Commission decided to give the symbol to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
Amid the ongoing feud within the Yadav clan for the ultimate leadership of the Samajwadi Party and its ‘Cycle’ symbol, Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav had stated that he might go against his son, and present chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav if the situation demands so.
After the split in the party two weeks ago, the factions led by Mulayam and his son Akhilesh had approached the commission staking claim over the party and the symbol ‘cycle’. The side which has the support of majority (50 per cent plus 1) MPs, MLAs, MLCs and delegates will gain an upper hand in the fight to control the party founded 25 years ago.
UP will have a seven-phase election, with polling on February 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, March 4 and 8.
