The sudden resignation of Samajwadi Party’s senior leader Kamal Akhtar has given rise to many speculations in the political circles. The market of discussions is so hot that people are considering it not just a resignation but a part of a bigger political chessboard.

Inside story of Azam Khan’s connection and resignation

Since the resignation of Kamal Akhtar, questions have started being raised on the internal equations of SP. It is being said that Azam Khan’s displeasure and neglect of his supporters within the party could be the biggest reason behind this step. Although Azam Khan is currently in jail, underestimating his influence could prove to be a big mistake for the opposition parties. According to political experts, this resignation is a clear indication that everything is not well within the party. The departure of old comrades like Kamal Akhtar shows that the camp loyal to Azam Khan is now re-planning its strategy, which can create problems for SP in the upcoming UP elections.

Will there be a big upset in UP elections?

This resignation can have far reaching consequences in terms of the upcoming elections. With Azam Khan’s name appearing in this episode, it has also become clear that he is still as active and influential in politics as he was before. If such political activities are taking place at his behest from jail itself, then it is not only a matter of concern for the opposition parties but is also a big challenge for the leadership of the Samajwadi Party. Is this resignation the foundation of a new political alliance, or is Azam Khan making new ‘preparations’ to regain his lost credibility? At present, the buzz in the corridors from Lucknow to Delhi is that the next step in the UP elections is now being decided from Azam Khan’s jail room.
