Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary attacked the Samajwadi Party, calling it a perfect example of dynasty politics.
“In the past 30 years, the SP could only reach to Akhilesh Yadav from Mulayam Singh Yadav and this is the most clear example of ‘parivarwaad’,” the UP BJP president said.
Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday was elected the SP president for a third time in a row.
Chaudhary, who was on a visit to Barabanki to participate in a plantation programme being run by the BJP under the ‘Seva Pakhwada’, said: “The SP has lost all the elections during the last eight years since 2014 and the condition of its organisation is such that it cannot even give a new state president.”
In the recently held state level convention of the Samajwadi Party, Naresh Uttam was re-elected the state unit president of the party.
Referring to the ban on Popular Front of India (PFI) and arrest of its members, Chaudhary said strict action would be taken against all those whose activities were found suspicious.
He said the government had information that justified the ban on PFI.
The PFI was banned for indulging in anti-national activities, he said.
Chaudhary said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country would not tolerate any anti-national activity.
According to a statement issued from the BJP state headquarters in Lucknow, as part of ‘Seva Pakhwada’ which started from Modi’s birthday on September 17, BJP workers across the state carried out a booth-level tree plantation campaign on Saturday.
