"State president Akhilesh Yadav has directed all the city and district unit presidents to consult the leaders and workers and chalk out strategy for the programme," party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said in Lucknow.

In his directive, Akhilesh said that the price rise and corruption due to wrong economic policies of the Centre has made life of the people miserable.

Akhilesh alleged that permitting FDI would make an impact on domestic economy and profiteering of multinational companies would increase.
