Kolkata: Akhilesh Yadav has reached Kolkata for the meeting of the Samajwadi Party’s national executive starting tomorrow. In this meeting which will last for two days, a blue print will be prepared for the next Lok Sabha elections. The party has been considering Kolkata as lucky. After the formation of the Samajwadi Party in 1992, the National Executive meeting was held in Bengal itself. After which Mulayam Singh Yadav became the Chief Minister in the elections held in UP. The Samajwadi Party had an alliance with Kanshi Ram’s BSP then.
In 2012, when Akhilesh Yadav became the CM of UP. Even before that, the executive meeting was held in Kolkata itself. That is why Akhilesh has decided that this time also the meeting of the National Executive should be held in Kolkata only. Who knows, the good days of the Samajwadi Party have returned from here. Another major reason behind holding this meeting in Kolkata is Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Akhilesh and Mamta met later this afternoon. Both the leaders have agreed on one thing that Congress will not be any kind of alliance.

Akhilesh is constantly meeting opposition leaders
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav is meeting non-Congress opposition leaders on the pretext of different programs these days. In the last month, he has met Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to Tamil Nadu CM Stalin. This time it is Mamta Banerjee’s turn. Mamta and Akhilesh have had a good relationship. Both the parties supported each other in the assembly elections of Bengal and UP. Neither the Samajwadi Party in Bengal nor the TMC in UP. There is a special mass base. But in politics, the political message is also very important.
Akhilesh Yadav has said that for him both BJP and Congress are same. That is why they have made up their mind not to forge an alliance with the Congress. He has gone a step further and announced that he will field the party’s candidate this time in Amethi. For the last four elections, the Samajwadi Party has not contested against Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. Some similar situation is also there in Bengal where Mamta Banerjee is not ready for alliance with Congress and Left in any case. That’s why Mamta and Akhilesh can come together in non-Congress front against BJP if something like this is formed.

Akhilesh is sometimes going to temple and sometimes to Bhagwat Katha
This is the first Lok Sabha election of the Samajwadi Party after the death of Mulayam Singh. For the next general elections, Akhilesh has chalked out a strategy to make farmers, youth, Muslims, Dalits and OBCs his base vote bank. He hopes to get the votes of the Jat community after the alliance with the national local. That’s why he sent Chaudhary Jayant Singh to the Rajya Sabha despite the numerical strength being less. Akhilesh does not want to take the controversy started on Ramcharitmanas any further. That’s why in recent days sometimes he was seen in the temple and sometimes he reached the stage of Bhagwat Katha. They have decided to make caste census the biggest issue. So that all backward castes can unite. He also wants to break the myth that other backward castes cannot join hands with Yadavs.
Kanshi Ram’s birth anniversary was celebrated in the Samajwadi Party office despite breaking ties with BSP. To bring Dalits to his side, Akhilesh Yadav said that the list of BSP tickets comes from BJP. The recently held Mainpuri Lok Sabha and Khatauli bypolls have raised hopes for Akhilesh to do something better. Dalits voted for Dimple Yadav in droves in the Mainpuri seat that fell vacant after the death of Mulayam Singh. In Khatauli, Jats and Gujjars voted together. If Akhilesh manages to do this in the Lok Sabha elections too, then the results can be good for him. In the last elections, when Samajwadi Party and BSP were in alliance, SP won 5 seats and BSP won 10 seats.
