Mulayam Singh expels Akhilesh, Ramgopal Yadav for six years: What has happened so far

In a move that surprised many, Samajwadi Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Friday expelled Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and party leader Ram Gopal Yadav from party for six years as infighting continues to wreak havoc. With less than six months to go for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, this ongoing feud within the ruling Samajwadi Party involving chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, party chief Mulayam, senior leader Shivpal and Ram Gopal Yadav shows no signs of ending. The family politics spilled over to national pages and channels despite Akhilesh clarifying that the infighting was “a fight in the government and not the family.”
