It is D-Day for Samajwadi Party as Election Commission will be taking the final call on Friday over if Mulayam Singh Yadav or Akhilesh Yadav led faction will take control of the party and its election symbol of "cycle".

After meeting Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi, Mulayam Singh told the media, in an apparent reference to Ram Gopal Yadav, that "one person" was creating problems in the party. And there is no rift between him and son Akhilesh Yadav.

Caught in the cross-fire of a raging war between Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son Akhilesh Yadav, Amar Singh on Friday said he was not against the Chief Minister and was being blamed for no rhyme or reason.

Hopes of truce after days of crisis in the warring Samajwadi Party remained grim on Tuesday despite a last minute effort to broker peace between the factions led by Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav amid a battle over the party's symbol, the cycle.

In a major setback for Mulayam Singh, a convention of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's supporters on Sunday elected him as the Samajwadi Party's new chief.

In dramatic twists and turns, the Samajwadi Party on Saturday revoked expulsion of Akhilesh Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav. Senior leader and cabinet minister Azam Khan turned out to be a peace broker in the Samajwadi Party.

Samajwadi chief Mulayam Singh on Friday took a tough stand, expelled Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav for 6 years citing Anti-Party Activities.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh released a list of candidates for 325 of the 403 Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats with many names objected by Akhilesh Yadav.

Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday added more drama to power tussle in the party by appointing Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh as party's general secretary.

When everyone started believing that Mulayam Singh has ended feud between his son Akhilesh Yadav and brother Shivpal, a twist has erupted to keep the controversy alive. Samajwadi Party’s new state president Shivpal Yadav on Monday expelled seven youth leaders, Akhilesh Kumar loyalists, from the party.
