According to reports, a defiant Akhilesh ignored uncle Shivpal Yadav’s list and prepared his own list of 403 candidates for UP polls.
This is Akhilesh’s second power play in the last three days.
On December 24, Akhilesh met first-time MLAs at his residence and promised them to give party tickets.
On December 25 the UP chief minister defied Shivpal Yadav and give a list of 403 candidates to his father and party supreme Mulayam Singh Yadav. A beleaguered Shivpal cried foul and said name of 175 candidates were already finalised and Mulayam didn’t accept Akhilesh’s list.
Shivpal added that distribution of party tickets was allotted on the basis of winnability.
However, Mulayam Singh will take final call on candidates.
