All is not still not well in ruling Samajwadi Party, hit by family feud, as reflected in its sudden decision to abruptly cancel the proposed rally of party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav in Azamgarh on October 6.

"The rally proposed on October 6 in Azamgarh is cancelled. The new dates will be finalised soon," a party leader said.

A decision in this regard was taken by Mulayam after meeting party's state president Shivpal Yadav and cabinet minister Balram Yadav, who represents Azamgarh in the assembly and was made in-charge of the rally.

With the rally, SP was going to kickstart its 2017 assembly election campaign.

Earlier, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on September 17 postponed Samajwadi Vikas Rath Yatra, scheduled on October 3, saying the dates would be announced later.

"I will lay the foundation stone of metro works in Kanpur on October 4. The date of the yatra will be decided. Time has changed, now I will see from which 'disha' (direction) and time it should start," he had said.
