SP feud: Akhilesh likely to announce his list of candidates

December 29, 2016 18:47

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, who was snubbed by his father Mulayam Singh Yadav in the announcement of party candidates, is likely to announce his own list of candidates for the assembly polls.

"Akhilesh Yadav likely to announce his own list of candidates for UP polls," said SP MLA Indal Singh after CM's meeting with those denied tickets.

Sources said the candidates declared by Akhilesh are likely to contest on different symbols as independent candidates.

Hectic political activities began in the morning with party leaders gathering outside the residences of Akhilesh and Mulayam. A big crowd assembled outside Shivpal's residence also.

Earlier, Mulayam Singh Yadav declared candidates for 325 of the 403 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh and ruled out projecting Akhilesh as the chief ministerial candidate.
