On Sunday, the ruling Samajwadi Party appeared to be headed for a split as the face-off between Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and UP CM Akhilesh Yadav worsened as the day progressed. Both of them sacked each other’s loyalists Shivpal Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav.

While Akhilesh sacked Shivpal, his uncle and party’s state unit chief, along with three other “pro-Amar Singh” ministers from his Cabinet, his father hit back by dismissing Ramgopal, pro-CM cousin and SP’s national general secretary, from the party for six years.
