Samajwadi Party supremo, Mulayam Singh Yadav, took a massive U-turn on Monday and said that the party remained united. Further, he added that his son Akhilesh Yadav would be the next Chief Minister should they win the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. This comes after Mulayam met the Election Commission in Delhi to stake claim to the "cycle," the symbol of the Samajwadi Party that he founded 25 years ago.
