AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi
VARANASI: Stung by the rousing reception to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi just 10 days ago and growing popularity of Bharatiya Janata Party which is increasing its outreach, Samajwadi Party has bought 4,374 sqmt land in Azamgarh to set up office for its national president Akhilesh Yadav.
In desperation to save its fortress in east UP after the Azamgarh visit of Owaisi on January 12, the SP completed the process of registry of 4,374 sqmt land at Anwarganj, around six km from the town on Friday.
SP district president Hawaldar Yadav said the construction of party chief’s parliamentary constituency office would start soon and is expected to be ready before 2022 UP polls.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav in Azamgarh on Monday
Varanasi: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav fired a salvo at the government on farmers’ protests and demanded that it should double the minimum support price of crops to double farmers’ income as promised.
Speaking to the media after attending a wedding at the residence of former minister Durga Prasad Yadav in his parliamentary constituency Azamgarh on Monday, Akhilesh also alleged step-motherly treatment with his constituency.
“We support farmers’ agitation. Our leaders are being put under house arrest to stop Kisan Yatra. I congratulate the farmers of Punjab for opening front against farm laws which have been brought for the benefit of few at the cost of farmers. We demand doubling of minimum support price of cops to double the income of farmers as promised by BJP.”
