Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's supporter and party legislator Udayveer Singh, accused Mulayam Singh's second wife of being part of the conspiracy against the Chief Minister. The four-page letter of the MLC marked a major escalation. Udayveer Singh was elected from the SP-stronghold of Etah-Mainpuri. With a subheading– “Personal jealousy against CM”– a part of the letter reads, “As this information came out in the open that you want Akhilesh to become the CM of the state, conspiracies started within the family. Although Akhilesh’s step-mother herself remained behind the picture, Shivpal came forward as her political face. He started contacting senior party leaders to prevent this.” He added that Shivpal Singh Yadav, the state party chief and a brother of Mulayam Singh, was jealous of the Chief Minister's popularity. Accusing Sadhna and Shivpal Yadav of collusion, Udayveer Singh alleged that the Chief Minister was being subject to black magic with a view to harm him. Reacting sharply to the letter, party leader Ashu Malik said people writing such letters were not "even worth 500 votes".
