Family feud
Since Yadav became chief minister, the family has been divided into two feuding groups with him against his father. Yadav has the support of his father's cousin, Ram Gopal. His father is supported by Shivpal (Mulayam Singh's brother) and friend Amar Singh.[11] On 30 December 2016, Akhilesh was fired from the party by his father one day after he released a separate list of candidates for the upcoming elections, only to be readmitted within a day. The following day he was elected as the national head of Samajwadi party by his party's national convention in Lucknow, replacing his father who termed it as illegal.[12]
