Lucknow, Jan 16(UNI) Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav today hit out at his son and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav by alleging his rival faction for being anti-Muslim. Waiting for the Election Commission decision on the claim of the party symbol, Mulayam while addressing the party workers at the state party office here today said, "Akhilesh was against appointment of a Muslim DGP." Several Muslim clerics have also informed me that the community was being ignored by this SP Government which is unfortunate, he further said. The statement by Mulayam gains importance as the leader has already said that he was ready to take on Akhilesh in the UP polls. Akhilesh is banking on the Muslim votes with Congress and RLD alliance and they would aim to dent into the BSP's poll formula of Dalit-Muslim combination. Meanwhile, in an another political development, Akhilesh Yadav's nameplate as National President was put just below Mulayam Singh Yadav's nameplate of the same designation at SP office here today. The incident shows that Akhilesh camp was not ready to succumb to any pressure from the Mulayam camp. UNI MB JW SNU 1648
