| Uncle Takes Yadav War To Delhi, |
| Uncle Takes Yadav War To Delhi, Akhilesh Meets Actor, Announces Yatra

| Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today described as a "dispute in the government and not a family feud," his differences with uncle Shivpal Yadav, which have placed him in direct confrontation with his father and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.
This was no peace move. The 44-year-old chief minister said, "I consult Netaji on most decisions. But some decisions I take on my own."
While his uncle rushed to Delhi to meet Netaji or Mulayam Singh this morning, Akhilesh stayed in Lucknow, met actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is the brand ambassador for one of UP's schemes, and announced a "yatra" on Twitter calling it "victory through development."
Late on Tuesday night, the chief minister had demoted his uncle, divesting him of four important ministries and giving him the social welfare portfolio instead. That was after his father had removed him as the Samajwadi Party's UP chief and appointed younger brother Shivpal in his stead.
It was the denouement of a battle for supremacy that began when Akhilesh opposed Shivpal's plan for the merger of don Mukhtar Ansari's party with the SP. This week, he sacked two ministers and a top bureaucrat, all close to his uncle.
The battle is tearing the Samajwadi Party apart five months before it makes a bid to retain the state in crucial assembly elections.
Shivpal Yadav flaunted his new powers today as the party's UP chief and also his proximity to Mulayam, saying, "No one has the temerity to go against what Netaji says."
