Lucknow, January 26: Shivpal Yadav, former Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and estranged uncle of Akhilesh Yadav, took a jibe at the former UP chief minister and current president of the Samajwadi Party without naming him in a rally by asking the people, "Can you trust such people who betray their own father and uncle?"

" He then questioned, "what if Behenji (Mayawati) goes somewhere, what will you do then?"
