At party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav’s residence at 5, Vikramaditya Marg, senior party leaders, including Shivpal Singh Yadav, Ambika Chaudhary and Legislative Council chairman Ramesh Yadav, arrived to draw up a strategy to deal with the situation once the EC decides on the symbol. Both Mulayam and Shivpal are likely to leave for Delhi on Monday morning.
Several ticket aspirants too met Mulayam.
Deoraj Gupta, a ticket seeker from Banda Sadar said Mulayam appeared relaxed but was focused on the election preparations. “I met Neta ji and told him that I want to contest election but on the symbol of the cycle. I will camp in Lucknow till EC announced its decision,” said Gupta.
CM Akhilesh Yadav’s official residence at 5, Kalidas Marg, however, did not see the usual crowd. Outside the Janeshwar Mishra Trust, which he heads, in Lucknow though, there was a steady stream of visitors.Aspirants were asked to wait for EC’s decision because Akhilesh could leave some seats for other parties in case went for an alliance.
