National President of Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav has given a big statement regarding INDIA alliance. He said that if there is an alliance, Samajwadi Party will contest on 65 or 80 seats. With this statement, Akhilesh has made it clear that he should give a maximum of 15 seats to the possible alliance partners Congress and Rashtriya Lok Dal in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It seems from this statement of Akhilesh that Before the Lok Sabha elections, the dispute between SP and Congress over seats in the MP Assembly elections has reached the verge of breaking the Indian alliance.
Akhilesh had also warned Congress that the same kind of behavior which is happening now, will happen in the Lok Sabha elections. He was referring to seat distribution in UP. Now on Wednesday Akhilesh Yadav has given a big statement. Akhilesh Yadav said that if there is an alliance, SP will contest on all 80 seats if not 65. With this statement, Akhilesh has made it clear that SP is not going to give more than 15 seats to Jayant’s RLD and Congress.
On Wednesday, in the SP State Executive meeting held in Lucknow regarding the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections, SP President Akhilesh Yadav instructed the officials and workers to pay attention to the voter list and stay away from factionalism. He said that there should not be factionalism in any district. Everyone has to come together for the elections.
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.
Alliance will decide national leadership:- Awasthi
We are fully prepared on all the seats in the state, we have set up our organization up to the booth level, we have trained our workers up to the booth level, and the promises that the Bharatiya Janata Party government has made to the opposition public and the people are aware of it. Going in the middle, with this, from 2004 to 2014, the Congress government of UPA 1 and UPA 2 made public interest schemes, be it Rs 72000 crore loan waiver, Right to Information, Right to Food, Right to Education, all the public interest schemes of Congress. They are working to tell the people about the schemes, along with this, the BJP government has done nothing for the general public in the last 10 years, did nothing for the youth, did nothing for the farmers, kept working only for the industrialists, We are going to the public with full preparation regarding all these things.
The decision of the national leadership on the question regarding alliance will be final, our preparations are complete in the state, our aim is to oust the Bharatiya Janata Party from power in 2024.
