Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav expelled MLC Udayveer Singh, who wrote a letter to Mulayam Singh in support of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, for 6 years. Sources said Mulayam is upset with his son and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for sheltering Udayveer as the raging crisis in the party showed no sign of respite. The decision came after Mulayam met senior leaders in the morning to find ways to end the raging infighting which is threatening to take the party to the verge of a split. Talking about party's decision of sacking him, Udayveer said, "I am not upset over my sacking... I am unhappy over the fact that truth is not reaching the ears of Netaji". The crisis in the party escalated on Friday when Akhilesh skipped the crucial party meeting convened by state unit chief and his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav. "Party state unit chief Shivpal Singh Yadav personally invited Akhilesh to attend the district presidents meeting but he refused to attend it," party sources said.
