The BJP is in panic all over the country due to the opposition unity,” the senior SP leader claimed. On party leader’s Swami Prasad Maurya’s statement on temples, Yadav said, “That is his (Maurya’s) personal statement. We don’t want to get into that.”
Earlier, on second day of his three-day tour to eastern UP, Yadav held a meeting with party workers at Nehru Hall in Azamgarh. SP workers warmly welcomed Shivpal when he reached Azamgarh from Jaunpur. He said the new party executive of the district will be formed soon.
Asked if he would be SP candidate from Azamgarh LS seat in 2024, he said, “I will follow whatever party instructs.” As per senior SP leader Hariprasad Dubey, the SP national general secretary will take a the night stay in Azamgarh.
On Tuesday morning, he would visit adjoining districts, Dubey added. Party activists in large numbers, including SP’s outgoing district unit president Havaldar Yadav, former MP Nand Kishore Yadav and MLA Durga Prasad Yadav were present on the occasion.
