Controversies:
Shivpal had arrived with party member Amar Singh for 70th birthday celebration of Ram Gopal Yadav and had sat among invitees rather than sit on the dais. He had further made his disinterest clear by sitting in the back row on the dais after much prodding by other leaders. He had done this to show his displeasure over the calling off of the merger of QED with SP.
Mulayam is on his side as SP got involved in family drama following power struggle between uncle Shivpal and nephew Akhilesh. Akhilesh proved his strength and has taken over reigns of SP. It is also said that in recent times those who have sided Shivpal are not allowed to enter party office in Lucknow. Mulayam to broker truce in SP has declared Akhilesh CM candidate for the 2017 election. Shivpal during this entire time has managed to have close equation with Mulayam.
