Lucknow:
After his dramatic resignation from party and cabinet posts, SP leader Shivpal Yadav on Friday said that he will accept any decision made by party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, "If Netaji tells me to stay on my post, I will," he told his supporters.
Earlier in the day, Yadav had said that he was with party supremo Mulayam, whose efforts to broker peace between his warring brother and son Akhilesh have proved futile till now.
Adressing the gathering of supporters outside Mulayam's house in Lucknow, Shivpal thanked his party workers for support and warned that conspirators would be punished.
Supporters gathered outside his residence on Friday and demanded that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister should touch the feet of his uncle Shivpal and apologise.

Shivpal submitted his resignation from the two posts to Mulayam who rushed here from Delhi this evening to douse the flames that threaten to hurt the ruling party in the Assembly polls due early next year, sources said.
Shivpal’s wife Sarla also gave resignation from the post of District Cooperative Bank Chairperson, Etawah, and son Aditya gave resignation as Chairman of Pradeshik Cooperative Federation, the sources added. However, Mulayam reportedly refused to accept the resignations, they said.
