The Samajwadi Party is looking to elevate its status to that of a national party, expecting a more active role in the assembly elections to be held in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Leaders are expected to discuss these issues during the party’s 10th national convention in Agra on Thursday.
The city of Taj is playing host to the national convention again as it is considered a lucky venue by party leaders. Former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav is likely to be named as the party’s national president during the meet.
Ramjilal Suman, former national general secretary of SP and chairman of welcome committee for Agra convention, said the agenda of the meet is national status for the Samajwadi Party, which is currently registered as a party of UP.

“The party has proved itself in UP and now we are looking at a larger picture with Samajwadi Party emerging as a national party,” added Suman who has also been a three-time MP from Firozabad constituency in the past.
“The BJP regime in UP has failed to deliver. Masses are fed up with them in six months. People of UP have already started recalling the positive aspects of SP regime’s governance,” stated Suman.
He revealed that political and economic proposals would be taken up during the SP’s executive meet here on Wednesday evening in the presence of Akhilesh Yadav.
Yadav will address the media in Agra on Wednesday evening and address the national convention after inaugurating it at CTO ground on Thursday.
