Meeting between Akhilesh Yadav & Mulayam Singh failed to make truce

In Uttar Pradesh, another patch-up bid between the warring factions of the Samajwadi Party ​fell flat yesterday ​as a three-hour meeting​ between ​Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and party patriarch Mulayam Singh failed to make ​truce.​ 

The talks made little headway, with the Akhilesh camp asserting that there would be no compromise on what it called core issues.​ ​Expelled general secretary of the party Ramgopal Yadav, who supports Akhilesh, said in New Delhi that there would be no



compromise between the two factions.​ ​Both the factions have submitted letters to the Election Commission, staking claim to the party name and the election symbol​, 'Cycle'. 

Later in the evening, ​both of them met again but there was no official announcement from either side.​ In view of it, suddenly there was talk of a peace formula ​between them. ​And, after three hours,​ the things were back on square one. However, the senior minister Azam Khan is still hopeful of the truce.​
