Mulayam Singh Yadav makes the announcement everyone has been waiting for: "Akhilesh will NOT be removed." He also asks Akhilesh to hug Shivpal at the meeting and make up with him.

However, Mulayam comes out strongly in favour of his son's detractors and says he will not hear anything against Shivpal Yadav and Amar Singh.

" Amar Singh has helped me a lot; Amar is my brother," Mulayam tells Akhilesh curtly. "I will never forget the work Shivpal has done for me and Samajwadi Party. Drunkards, goons have been added to the party. You get some power and it goes to your head. Shivpal Yadav is leader of the masses. Look at PM Modi, he became PM with dedication and struggle. He comes from a poor family, says he can't leave his mother. I can't leave Amar Singh or Shivpal Yadav. All of Amar Singh's sins are forgiven."
