Shivpal absent from Mulayam Yadav's b'day celebrations
Meanwhile, on the occasion of Samajwadi Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav's 82nd birthday on Monday, his younger brother Shivpal Singh Yadav was notably missing from the festivities in Lucknow. While the PSPL chairman greeted his elder brother on Twitter, he was not visible on stage with his estranged nephew Akhilesh Yadav. His absence alludes to his fruitless attempts to form a partnership with SP, which he has been pursuing for the previous two years. However, Mulayam's son and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said on November 3 that he will be teaming up with his Uncle for the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh on Mulayam's birthday. Shivpal Yadav, according to reports, held a separate celebration in Saifai, where he cut a cake and fed it to a poster of the SP supremo.
