Lucknow: In a fresh twist to the entire Yadav feud, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday is set to reinstate his uncle and state president Shivpal Yadav back into the cabinet along with three other ministers who were suspended in a series of revenge sackings during the weekend.
Sources told CNN-News18 that a letter in this regard will be sent to Governor Ram Naik from the CM's office and the ministers are also likely to take fresh oath.
The other ministers who were ousted from the cabinet and will be taken back include Narad Rai, Om Prakash and Shadab Fatima.
All the four ministers met party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav at his residence post the announcement.
The development comes a day after party Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav made multiple attempts on Sunday to broker a truce between the two warring factions within the party.
Mulayam's efforts to strike a peace deal between his son and brother hit multiple hurdles after Akhilesh and Shivpal indulged in an open spat on the podium at the venue of the party meeting.
However, there is no clarity on MLC Udayveer Singh and general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav who were removed from the party by state president Shivpal Yadav and are believed to be part of Akhilesh's camp.
Sources have told CNN-News18 that they will be brought back to the party only after Diwali.
Meanwhile, Former party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav who was expelled from the party for a period of six years attacked SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav for praising Amar Singh and claiming that he saved him from going to jail.
"The comments praising Amar Singh are nonsensical. Mulayam singh is jealous of Akhilesh Yadav as Akhilesh is more popular," Ram Gopal told the media.
Ram Gopal said that he has asked Akhilesh to start campaigning as there is no Samajwadi Party without him.
Reacting to the new development, State President Shivpal Yadav said that 'all is well' within the party.
"I will abide by Netaji's comments," Shivpal told CNN-News18
