Gearing up for the 2017 assembly polls the ruling Samajwadi Party has now focused its attention in eastern Uttar Pradesh and would send observers in 26 districts to get a first hand report of the ground realities.
A team of 26 senior leaders have been entrusted to visit these districts for four days from October 26 to get the first-hand report about the party’s strength and weakness from the assembly segment to district/ city level, a senior party leader told here on Monday.
Besides, the party leadership has asked them to report on groupism or any other issue that can affect the party’s prospect in the next assembly elections and visit the party district and city offices to assess the situation there.
The leadership has also asked the observers to be impartial in their assessment.
The observers would be submitting their report either to party president Mulayam Singh Yadav or general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav onNovember 1.
letters to the 26 observers sent by Mr Ram Gopal Yadav directed them to review all the nitty-gitty on the party’s activities in their districts.
‘’Every small issue should be reported back to their leadership as their submission would be the main source for strengthening the party’s base in the area before the coming assembly elections,’’ the letter said.
Prominent among those who have been selected for the observers include Ujjawal Raman Singh( Azamgarh), Ram Pujan Patel (pratapgarh), Sukhram Singh Yadav (Allahabad), Satendra Prasad (Faizabad), Shiv Kumar Rathore( Sant Ravidas Nagar), Rajpal Kashyap( Amethi), Naveed Siddique( Rae Bareli), Jai Shanker Pandey (Bahriach), Ram Sevek Yadav( Kanpur Dehat), Javeed Abdi (Santi Kabir Nagar), Pradeep Yadav( lakhimpur Kheri), Rambriksh Yadav( Sitapur),Naimul Hasan( Kushinagar), lallan Rai( Deoria), Hira Thakur (Varanasi) and Ayub Ansari(lucknow).
