Shivpal Yadav merges his party, PSPL, into Samajwadi Party

LUCKNOW: In a development that is being seen as the first step towards Shivpal Yadav's Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party - Lohia (PSPL) formally merging into the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party, the former Uttar Pradesh CM formally changed the party flag on Shivpal's SUV and put an SP flag.

Shivpal had formed the PSPL in 2018, two years after his rift with nephew his Akhilesh.

As the rift widened, the SP slipped downhill in state politics, losing election after election.

After the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav in October, the family made efforts to bring the two leaders closer and finally succeeded.

Sources said that the two leaders had agreed to a respectable adjustment of PSPL leaders in the SP.
