Another Feud In Samajwadi Party? Mulayam Singh’s Second Wife Wants Son To Enter Politics

Sounding confidence, Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh’s wife Sadhna Yadav on Tuesday said she has been insulted a lot and accused of creating feud within the party, but now she won’t step back.

“I have been insulted a lot. Now I won’t step back. People should not have got the courage to say so many things about me. I was brought up in a family where my father used to say that one should not publicise good work, but now time is different. A chief secretary was transferred. The people said I was behind it. It’s false, though I wish I was so powerful,” Sadhna told ANI.

Rebuffing allegations that she was behind the Samajwadi Party feud, Sadhna said time has done everything and no one is to be blamed for it.

When asked about her political ambitions, Sadhna said that Mulayam never let her enter into politics. She further said, “But now I don’t want to enter politics, but yes I would like my son Prateek to enter politics.”

Talking about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Sadhna said she has been in more conversation with her stepson since 1 January than she has been in last five years. She also expressed her displeasure over the recent family feud in the party.

A total of 1.41 crore voters, including 64.76 lakh females will exercise their franchise in the last phase of the assembly elections in the state.
