Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) MLC Udayveer Singh - considered close to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav - has accused Mulayam Singh's second wife Sadhna of harbouring ill feeling towards her stepson (Akhilesh).
Accusing Sadhna and Shivpal Yadav (the state party chief and a brother of Mulayam Singh) of collusion, Udayveer Singh alleged that the Chief Minister was being subject to black magic with a view to harm him.
He added that Shivpal and SP supremo Mulayam Singh, was jealous of the Chief Minister's popularity.
Singh also asked Mulayam to step down and let his son (Akhilesh) take his place.
Singh, a first time MLC, wrote a "private letter" to Mulayam Singh but it has now found its way into the media.
Udayveer Singh told IANS on Thursday that he was merely airing his personal feelings but which he insisted echoed the views of most party colleagues.
Demanding that the party revoke the expulsion of young party leaders, he said Akhilesh Yadav was the most credible face of the Samajwadi Party.
Reacting sharply to the letter, party leader Ashu Malik said people writing such letters were not "even worth 500 votes".
He added that the party would not tolerate indiscipline. "Any attempt to humiliate Netaji (Mulayam Singh) will not be tolerated."
