Mulayam’s photo with Mohan Bhagwat spices up UP politics

A photo of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat  has gone viral on social media, just ahead of the crucial elections in the politically crucial state and creating a buzz in UP politics.

Two days after Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son Akhilesh Yadav launched an attack on the BJP for “targeting” his aides with tax raids, the SP veteran met Bhagwat met on Monday at the wedding reception of Vice President Venkaiah Naidu’s granddaughter in Delhi.

“I have said this time and again that as elections approach, all this starts happening. Abhi toh Income Tax department aaya hai, Enforcement Directorate aayega, CBI aayega (Right now, now the tax department has come… the Enforcement Directorate will come, CBI will come) but the cycle (the Samajwadi Party’s poll symbol) will not
