After the recent upheaval in Maharashtra’s NCP, speculations of major political changes are now surfacing in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Subhash Rajbhar, who was once a close associate of Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, made a bold claim on Monday. According to him, several SP legislators have been in contact with him, indicating an imminent split within the party. Moreover, Rajbhar predicted that the alliance between Akhilesh and Jaiant Chaudhary, the chief of Rajbhar, is likely to break in the near future. This prediction echoes a similar statement made by Ramdas Athawale, the leader of the Republican Party of India (RPI), on Sunday. The discontent within the SP seems to be widespread, with even Shivpal Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav’s uncle, expressing his dissatisfaction. Rajbhar firmly believes that Shivpal Yadav, a grassroots leader, is upset with the party and feels undervalued. In a further development, Dr. Sanjay Nishad, the leader of the Nishad Party, also claimed to be in contact with Jaiant Chaudhary and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar from the BJP
