The Samajwadi Party is gearing up for hitting the ground across the State for political mobilisation with the objective of winning maximum number of seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The party is working out a strategy to take an aggressive stand against the Bharatiya Janata Party on every issue.
Sources in the SP said the victory in the Mainpuri Lok Sabha and Khatauli assembly by-elections had given the much needed shot in the arm to the party. They said the SP intends to maintain this momentum till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
During the mobilisation campaign, the SP will fight the perception created by its political opponents that party president Akhilesh Yadav is a reluctant politician, a leader who prefers comfortable life instead of facing the heat and dust of electoral politics and works only on social media platforms like Twitter.
"The party is working on a strategy to give Akhilesh Yadav a new image makeover of a leader who is connected with the people at the grassroots level," said a SP leader.
He added: "Akhilesh worked hard at the grassroots level during the recent Mainpuri Lok Sabha election. Therefore, the SP won this seat by a huge margin of votes."
Due to the victory in the Mainpuri Lok Sabha election, the hard work of the SP workers paid off and since then the strategists of the party have decided that Akhilesh Yadav will visit every district in Uttar Pradesh till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Apart from this, the party will be seen protesting on the streets against the policies of the BJP government for which a committee has been constituted which will keep an eye on every small issue.
According to SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary, the party has been fighting for the people since the day of its inception in 1992 but the BJP diverts the attention from the issues related to the people on the basis of communal lines.
