SP LIKELY TO RECONSTITU­TE ITS UNITS AFTER BYELECTION

- HT Correspond­ent

LUCKNOW: The Samajwadi Party (SP) is likely to reconstitu­te its national, and state executive bodies, besides its district units and frontal organisati­ons before the year-end.

The SP would restart the reorganisa­tion work after the Mainpuri Lok Sabha and Rampur Sadar assembly bypolls on December 5, people familiar with the matter said.

The party is functionin­g without these units since July when SP chief Akhilesh Yadav dissolved them with the intent to reconstitu­te them for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He took the step after the party failed to win power in 2022 U.P. assembly polls. “The party will set up the state, national executives and district units soon. It will take about a month or month- and- a- half,” said SP national secretary and state spokespers­on Rajendra Chaudhary.

Initially, the reconstitu­tion process was to supposed to start a little after the party’s state and national executive meetings in Lucknow on September 28 and 29 respective­ly. However, the exercise got delayed because of party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav’s demise on October 10.

The Mainpuri and Rampur Sadar bypolls are crucial for the SP as the two constituen­cies are citadels of the SP. Because of the Mainpuri bypolls, the party has appointed former U.P. minister Alok Shakya as district president to spearhead the election preparatio­ns.
