New Delhi: In a last-ditch effort to salvage the division in the Yadav family, patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday admitted that there was a rift in the family which caused political uncertainty in the state. Instead of fighting our weaknesses, we are fighting amongst ourselves,” said Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, while addressing party workers in Lucknow. Breaking his silence for the first time, Mulayam Singh Yadav also said that some ministers were indulging in sycophancy. Akhilesh Yadav also said that if his father Mulayam Singh Yadav had asked for his resignation, he would have resigned from the top post. This party has reached such heights only because of Mulayam Singh Yadav,” Shivpal Yadav added.
