Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav is set to go on a ‘Samajwadi Vikas Rozgar Yatra’ in Kannauj on August 6 this year, in a bid to highlight the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s neglect towards the Uttar Pradesh district. The buzz is that Mr. Yadav will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from the Kannauj parliamentary segment..
On the tour, Mr. Yadav is expected to underscore deficiencies in the development work in Kannauj and the entire State under the BJP. Over the past few months, Mr. Yadav has visited the district multiple times and talked in detail about his association with the city, even hinting that he may contest from the seat.
“Samajwadi Vikas Rojgar Yatra will be taken out in Kannauj on August 6, 2023, under the leadership of Mr. Yadav, from the cow milk plant in Kannauj to Mandi on August 6. A large number of SP workers will participate in this yatra. This visit of the SP chief will highlight the apathy towards development works in the entire State including Kannauj under the BJP government. Kannauj, famous for its perfumes, is going through its worst days,” said the SP’s chief spokesperson Rajendra Choudhary, adding Mr. Yadav had taken several steps and adopted visionary policies for Kannauj.
