In his mega conflict with father and party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav's demand number one is the separation from the Samajwadi Party of lawmaker Amar Singh. That fervent wish is unlikely to be fulfilled, Amar Singh made clear today, declaring, "I will not abandon Mulayam Singh until my last breath. He has said I am a brother to him. I am like an uncle to Akhilesh whether he accepts me or not."
