The son has trumped his father!

The cycle symbol belongs to the  Akhilesh-led Samajwadi Party, said the Election Commission. 

Both factions of the Samajwadi Party headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav had approached the Election Commission for control over the party's election symbol 'bicycle'.

The commission had told both the sides that a judgment will be delivered before the process of filing nominations for the phase one of Uttar Pradesh assembly elections will begin on January 17. 

Akhilesh camp had argued that since the numbers are stacked in favour of the CM, the symbol should go to him.
