“A lot of development has taken place under Akhilesh Yadav. People see him as a harbinger of good and prosperity, we will work on it,” said Udayveer Singh, another MLC close to the Chief Minister.
In another move, aided by legal eagles, the Akhilesh camp has told banks to freeze the Samajwadi Party accounts.
As a result, more than Rs 500 crore belonging to the party, which till now was operational with the signature of Shivpal Yadav, the estranged uncle of the Chief Minister, have been put on hold.
Most of the old guard and Mulayam loyalists like Reoti Raman Singh, Balram Yadav, Rajendra Chowdhary and Ahmad Hasan have turned their back on the party supremo who once dreamt of becoming the Prime Minister.
