Gearing up for the next Assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party leadership has issued directives to its office bearers to identify the “traitors” within the party fold and work unitedly to spread the message of good governance among the masses. The directives were given in a closed door meeting of district and city presidents, addressed by party’s national president Mulayam Singh Yadav and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, on Wednesday.
“There are many black sheep in the party. Identify them so that we can throw them out of the party. Anti-party activities should be stopped at the earliest. Gaddaro ki iss party mein koi jagah nahi hai (There is no place of traitors in the party),” Mulayam Singh Yadav told the party officers. A senior leader, who attended the meeting, told The Pioneer that Neta ji has asked party leaders to gear up for the upcoming Assembly elections. He said the party leaders should go to the people with a clean image.
“The district presidents have been asked to prepare a list of leaders indulged in anti-party activities so that action can be taken against them,” he said. Yadav Senior told the leaders that party is doing good work. The onus is now on the party workers to spread the message among the masses. “You (leaders) failed us during the lok Sabha election. Vidhan Sabha ke chunav mein to izzat bachcha lena,” he said. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who is also the State president of the party, said that law and order situation in State has improved. “The Government is working overtime to improve infrastructure in the State. Many pro-people and pro-farmer decisions have been taken and the result can be seen at the ground level,” he said. “We will expedite development in next two years. The directives have been issued to the officials to implement the decisions of the Government in letter and spirit,” Akhilesh said. The leaders said the workers should go to villages and apprise people of the policies that could help them. Tell them about Kisan Bima Yojana and how UP Government has helped farmers during calamities.
