Akhilesh Yadav Takes Charge of Lohia Trust, Strengthening SP Control

Akhilesh Yadav is expected to become the new head of the Lohia Trust.

He will replace his uncle, Shivpal Yadav, who led the trust for nearly a decade.

The trust promotes socialist ideas connected to the Samajwadi Party.

It also helps raise money for the party.

The trust was created before the Samajwadi Party itself.

Akhilesh already leads the Janeshwar Mishra Trust.

The change follows years of disagreements between Akhilesh and Shivpal.

Political observers in Uttar Pradesh see it as a sign that Akhilesh has strengthened his control of the party.
