Once again a major administrative and political reshuffle has been seen in the clan of Samajwadi Party (SP), the main opposition party of Uttar Pradesh. The most important establishment related to the ideological backbone and fund management of the Samajwadi Party is ‘Dr. The command of Ram Manohar Lohia Trust has now directly come into the hands of SP National President Akhilesh Yadav. Akhilesh Yadav has been elected as the new president in an important meeting held in the presence of eight members of the Trust. With this decision, the 10-year-long era of senior party leader and former minister Shivpal Singh Yadav, which was handed over to him during the SP family dispute of 2017, has come to an end.
Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Trust was established even before the formation of Samajwadi Party, whose basic objective was to propagate socialist ideology and work for the welfare of the exploited and deprived class. In the year 2017, when the internal strife in SP was at its peak, Shivpal Yadav was made the president of this trust. But after this new decision taken in 2026, Akhilesh Yadav has not only strengthened his hold on the party organization, but after Janeshwar Mishra Trust and Samajwadi Party, he has now completely monopolized the Lohia Trust as well. Shivpal Yadav himself was also present in this meeting, who unanimously accepted the proposal of nephew Akhilesh’s name.
Political analysts believe that this step of Akhilesh Yadav, just before the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections to be held in 2027, is inspired by very strategic and far-reaching thinking. To ensure that the final and supreme power of decision making within the party remains with only one central point, for this all the decision making mechanisms from organizations to trusts are being threaded together. This move of Akhilesh Yadav shows that even though his relationship with uncle Shivpal Yadav now looks normal and he has been given important responsibilities in mainstream politics, Akhilesh wants to keep the final right to take decisions related to financial, ideological and immovable properties of the party with himself.
After this change of leadership in Lohia Trust, the politics of Uttar Pradesh has completely heated up. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and allies have made sharp verbal attacks on the Samajwadi Party regarding this development. BJP says that in 2017 too, there was a war of trust and party supremacy between uncle and nephew and now once again the nephew has sidelined the uncle and taken over the entire empire. BJP spokespersons allege that the great socialist thinker Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia was never in favor of dynastic politics, but the Samajwadi Party has reduced his ideological legacy to just a family base.
