With Samajwadi Party leadership hurriedly working to avert a split in its ranks by showing signs of a climbdown from its stand of not naming Akhilesh Yadav as the party’s CM face, the latest development would keep the SP’s top brass on its toes.

A group of expelled SP leaders and staunch supporters of Mr Akhilesh Yadav have formed an organisation called ‘Akhilesh Sena’ to separately push his candicacy for the top post. To register its protest against the recent developments targeting Mr Akhilesh Yadav, the group has refused to participate in the silver jubilee function of the Samajwadi Party on November 5.

‘Akhilesh Sena’ will work as a personal army of the CM and will launch a campaign to ensure that he returns to the job in 2017.
