The rift between Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav and the party's founding member Azam Khan is not decreasing. Other parties are also trying to take advantage of the tussle between Azam Khan and Akhilesh Yadav. In this they are also successful to a large extent, but Akhilesh Yadav's messengers are not able to meet Azam Khan.
Akhilesh Yadav, along with other leaders, sent Samajwadi Party MLA and senior party leader Ravidas Mehrotra from Lucknow's Central Assembly constituency to Sitapur jail. There Ravidas Mehrotra was about to meet former cabinet minister Azam Khan on Sunday. When the jail administration informed Azam Khan, Azam Khan refused to meet Ravidas Mehrotra and the leaders of the Samajwadi Party who accompanied him. He felt exasperated when the delegation went to meet Azam Khan, the founding member of the Samajwadi Party, instead of the national president of the party. Azam Khan told the SP delegation that his health is not good.
On the instructions of former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and National President of Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav, MLA from Lucknow and former minister Ravidas Mehrotra reached Sitapur Jail today to meet Azam Khan. Ravidas Mehrotra, who reached the Sitapur jail premises, returned unharmed from there. Ravidas Mehrotra, who reached Sitapur Jail around 11 o'clock, said that he had come to meet Azam Khan on the instructions of SP National President Akhilesh Yadav ji, but he refused to meet.
Azam Khan is in jail for 26 months in small sections. He said that he would request Netaji to take up Azam's case. Shivpal Yadav had never spoken anything against Mulayam Singh Yadav.Its implications are being extracted in the political corridors. This is because when Mulayam removed Shivpal Yadav from the post of state president and made Akhilesh the state president, he accepted the decision.
