Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav Friday hinted that his party may withdraw the application seeking the disqualification of his uncle and MLA Shivpal Singh Yadav from the Uttar Pradesh Assembly under the anti-defection law.

Shivpal Singh Yadav, the estranged uncle of the SP president claimed that "some people" were hatching conspiracies to ensure that the family does not unite.

Replying to a question regarding not moving the application seeking the disqualification of the then Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh and SP MLA Nitin Agarwal, Akhilesh Yadav said, "We will withdraw all the applications.... Satisfied?"
Speaking in Mainpuri, Shivpal Singh Yadav said: "There is full scope of unity in the family and there is full scope from my side as well. But some people who hatch conspiracy are not allowing the family to unite."
