LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party national president and former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has asked the party outfits and candidates to take the civic elections with all seriousnes­s.

"Through the results of this elections, we can get closure to our 2019 Lok Sabha polls aim," he said on Thursday while addressing a meeting related to civic polls preparatio­n and added: "The message of UP civic polls results will go nationwide."

He said the Samajwadi Party government had dedicated all the five years of its rule to developmen­t and welfare of the people.

And the workers should go door to door to publicise the SP government's works and also make extensive preparatio­ns at the booths and wards.

He said that the four years of BJP-led governnmen­t at the centre and eight months in UP have lapsed without any achievemen­t. It is not yet clear what direction the BJP government has decided to take the state in.

“There is no match to the works of the SP government and the BJP and its government seems to have only one agenda of ruining the works of SP government and do negative publicity of the SP works,” he said.

Continuing his attack on BJP, Akhilesh said that it is not in BJP's nature to work for the public interest.

"One can see how BJP government's demonetisa­tion and the GST ruined country's economy and people's livelihood. How women don't feel secure. And instead of working, the BJP government in the state is busy changing colours of buildings and buses."
