Need to strengthen SP at booth level to defeat BJP, says Akhilesh

Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday addressed a training camp of party workers under the Lok Jagran Abhiyan at Naimisharanya in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur, and asked workers to strengthen the organisation at the booth, which holds the key to defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2024 polls. “The BJP is now panicking. In the Lok Sabha elections, the Samajwadi Party will work to defeat the BJP. For this, the organisation has to be strengthened up to the booth level,” said Mr. Yadav.

Reiterating his demand for a Caste-based Census in the State, Mr. Yadav said it would conduct a Census whenever the SP can. “Whenever socialists (SP) get a chance, the party will conduct Caste Census. Without Caste Census, there will be no social justice,” said the former U.P. CM, adding today through technology, the government can conduct Caste-based Census within a few months.

Mr. Yadav alleges that the ruling saffron party is playing with the Constitution and conspiring to end the reservation for the deprived, backwards and Dalits. “The BJP government is flouting Baba Saheb’s Constitution. There is a conspiracy to end the reservation for the deprived, backward and Dalits,” he added.
