Restive to ensure victory in one or two parliamentary constituencies in Uttarakhand during the next general elections, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav may “get” blessings of some spiritual leaders (saints) during his visit to Haridwar to attend two-day long national executive meeting of the party in September.
Scheduled on September 17 and 18, the meet will see conglomeration of Samajwadi stalwarts, including senior leaders and members of the party’s national executive. SP Uttarakhand unit president Prof Satyanarayan Sachan claimed, “The SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav may meet some key spiritual leaders who are keen to extend his blessings to Netaji for a grand success in the next general election.”
He said that executive would attract senior SP leaders, including SP general secretary Ramgopal Yadav, senior leader Kironmoy Nanda, Mohan Singh, Jaya Bachhan and other members of the SP’s national executive. The meet would be chaired by the SP Chief.
Senior SP leaders, according to the State president, would forge a strategy to ensure victory in the hilly State where it ended with a very poor show during the last assembly polls and the general election 2009. The brainstorming session would start in the morning on September 17 when the SP Chief Mulayam Singh is likely to open the event formally.
The SP chief would also meet the local leaders in the evening after the session to have a pulse of the State. He may also meet some party workers from the hilly terrains. He will suggest some tips to the local leaders for improving performance of the party in the State. Prof Sachan said that after the meeting, the SP leaders would also pay tributes to the people lost their live in the natural disaster. “Though the dates for the executive meet have already been fixed, SP General Secretary Prof Ram Gopal Yadav would make announcement about it within a day or two in Delhi. He would also names of members of the organising committee,” Dr Sachan said.
Dr Sachan said that the executive was being organised in Haridwar as the state unit invited the national leadership for holding the meet in the State. Accepting the request of the State unit leaders, the national leadership recently approved its demand. The State president said that the guidance of the senior leaders to the party workers would infuse fresh confidence into them. He claimed that with the guidance and strategy of the senior leaders, the party would definitely come out with shining colours after general elections.
