Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav will meet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today in Lucknow. 

This comes after former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav snubbed Shivpal and named Ram Govid Chowdhury the Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly. 

Shivpal and Akhilesh share a strained relationship as the equation between the uncle-nephew soured prior to the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

Earlier, Adityanath had paid a visit to Upvan cow shelter run by Aparna Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadavs daughter-in-law, in Sarojini Nagar area of Lucknow.
