Amid the turmoils in Samajwadi Party, former Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju has shown the way to save the party. In a Facebook post he said, “All the Ministers of UP government and office bearers of party should now submit their resignation to Akhilesh Yadav, who in addition to being the Chief Minister should be made President of the party replacing Mulayam Singh Yadav will full powers.”
The ongoing feud in Yadav family and SP was aggravated last days after tit-for-tat sacking of party leaders.
Katju also suggested for a free hand to Akhilesh Yadav in choosing the ministers and office bearers in the party.

My advice to the SP members : Throw out all the old decayed fish and rotten eggs in your party, and solidly join ranks behind Akhilesh Yadav

He said, “A totally free hand should be given to Akhilesh to choose the UP Ministers or office bearers in the party.. Neither Mulayam Singh nor anyone else should give advice to Akhilesh, unless he himself seeks the advice, as to who should be a Minister and who should be an office bearer, and no one, not even Mulayam Singh, should try to influence Akhilesh in this matter.”
“Akhilesh should be given a free hand to throw out anyone, including Mulayam Singh, from the party who disregards the above rules. Failure to accept this will lead to utter ruin of the party,” he further wrote on the social networking site.
He had also shared the post on microblogging site Twitter.
