Lucknow: The youth leaders in the SP, owing allegiance to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, have formed a new outfit called Akhilesh Yadav Samajwadi Front.

The outfit has been announced in Firozabad district by the former district head of the Yuvjan Sabha Anshul Vikram Singh.

Firozabad, incidentally, is the constituency of Akshay Yadav, son of Ram Gopal Yadav, who had openly come out in support of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav during the recent family crisis in the Yadav clan.

Anshul and former head of Lohia Vahini Samajwadi Party Ramvir Yadav questioned the changes made by state president Shivpal Singh Yadav in the party organisation and said that those appointed as district level office-bearers did not have faith in the leadership of the chief minister.
