Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, has announced a 'alliance' with his uncle Shivpal Yadav's party in Uttar Pradesh.

LUCKNOW: Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, paid a visit to his estranged uncle Shivpal Yadav at his home on Thursday and declared an alliance with the latter's Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia).

Akhilesh, who is busy forming coalitions with smaller parties, tweeted after the meeting that the two leaders discussed the mechanics of a "alliance."

"PSPL's national president was met and an alliance was formed. The SP's tactic of bringing in regional parties is strengthening the party and ensuring success for the SP and its allies "After the meeting, Akhilesh tweeted in Hindi.

Hundreds of both party supporters gathered outside Shivpal's home, chanting "Chacha-Bhatija zindabad."

SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav was present at Shivpal's house before Akhilesh arrived, according to SP sources quoted by PTI.

The sacking of Shivpal by Akhilesh when he was Chief Minister in 2016 soured the relationship between uncle (66) and nephew.

In January 2017, Akhilesh became the head of the SP, and Shivpal created his own party.

In response to the meeting, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya stated that it will have no impact on the BJP's electoral prospects.

"In 2022, the BJP will win over 300 seats and form a majority government for the second time. Only the lotus (BJP's electoral emblem) will bloom whether there was a meeting of 'Chacha' 'Bhatija' or 'Bua' 'Bhatija' or SP or Congress or all of them "he stated

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 312 seats out of the 403-seat Uttar Pradesh Assembly in 2017, while the Samajwadi Party (SP) gained 47, the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) got 19, and the Congress only managed to win seven seats. Other candidates snatched up the remaining seats.
