He instructed the workers to strengthen the organization at the booth level and talk about the rights and entitlements of backward classes, Dalits and minorities. The state executive meeting of SP was held on Wednesday at the party’s headquarters in Lucknow. Senior leaders Shivpal Singh Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav along with more than 300 representatives attended the meeting. In which the party’s strategy was discussed.
SP spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary, who attended the meeting, said that SP is continuously struggling in the state. SP’s effort is to defeat BJP on all 80 seats in UP.
Now only six months are left for the Lok Sabha elections.
In such a situation, Lok Sabha elections are the main issue in the meeting. SP is a member of the opposition Alliance India, but Akhilesh Yadav has already made it clear that in the states where regional parties are strong, they should be trusted. However, there has been a heated exchange of words between SP and Congress leaders regarding seat sharing in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections. Congress is also claiming to contest elections on all seats in the state. For this, different campaigns and conferences are being organized.
