Two states, two dynasties, two rebellions -- one goal

India TV News  

The rebellion spearheaded in the NCP by its leader Ajit Pawar to help the BJP form its government in Maharashtra can bear comparison with then Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's moves against his uncle Shivpal Yadav to control the Samajwadi Party. There is a slight difference: Ajit Pawar's stratagem may lead to gain for his cousin Supriya Sule, while Akhilesh Yadav sought the next generation's sway in his Samajwadi Party. Ajit Pawar has been miffed since his uncle and party supremo Sharad Pawar's only child Supriya Sule entered the political arena. As Ajit Pawar operated smoothly with his confidante Dhanjay Munde and Sunil Tatkare, who were in touch with Devendra Fadnavis, who finally achieved his desire to return as Chief Minister, it was Ramgopal Yadav, another uncle of Akhilesh Yadav, who helped to catapult Akhilesh Yadav as party President, replacing his father.
