UP polls: Shivpal Yadav to float own party, dares Akhilesh to form next government

Senior Samajwadi Party leader and Mulayam Singh Yadav's younger brother Shivpal Yadav has said he will float a new party after the results of the crucial Uttar Pradesh election are counted on March 11.

Shivpal, who like Mulayam has expressed his unhappiness with the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance, has also dared his nephew and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to form the next government in the state.

Samajwadi Party has fielded Shivpal Yadav from Jaswant Nagar seat in Etawah district, considered the home turf of the ruling Yadav clan.
