Samajwadi Party chief and former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is all set to begin the second phase of his ambitious ‘Vijay Rath Yatra’ from Hardoi district from October 31.
Akhilesh started the first leg of his journey from Kanpur and went through Hamirpur, Jalaun and Kanpur Dehat.
Before starting the second yatra, he will attend a rally called by Om Prakash Rajbhar-led Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) at Haldharpur Maidan in Mau district.
Rajbhar and Akhilesh are likely to share the stage at this event – their first such show of strength ahead of the 2022 UP assembly elections. The two are expected to formally announce their alliance at the event. The seat-sharing formula will be announced later as the SBSP chief has said that there is no seat-sharing issue between him and Akhilesh, and he will support the SP even if it gets zero seats.
Talking to the media in Lucknow on Monday, Akhilesh had confirmed his participation in the Mau rally. Posters showing Akhilesh Yadav as the chief guest of the rally are already put up in the state.
It will be interesting to see whether Akhilesh’s uncle Shivpal Yadav, who was also a part of SBSP Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha, attends the rally. SBSP sources have confirmed that an invitation has been sent to Shivpal.
A day after the mega show in Mau, Akhilesh is expected to address a rally in his parliamentary constituency Azamgarh. He is also expected to distribute laptops to the students on the occasion.
The Samajwadi Party chief had gone to Delhi on Monday to seek blessings from his father and SP patriarch, Mulayam Singh Yadav, for organizing the yatra.
Speaking exclusively to News18 on his ‘Vijay Rath’ during the first phase of the Samajwadi Vijay Rath Yatra, the SP chief had said, “The Samajwadi Vijay Rath will run from Ganga to Yamuna. We will start this yatra with the blessings of Netaji. We have come forward to take public’s cooperation and support. The people of Uttar Pradesh have been cheated by the BJP government. This state is the land of our farmers, but farmers are being atrocities in Uttar Pradesh. They have been told That their income will be doubled but their income has been taken away. Farmers have been crushed to death by vehicles. If BJP is not removed, it will crush the Constitution under the same tyre.
The Rath Yatra is considered a lucky charm by the Samajwadi Party because whenever Akhilesh Yadav has gone on one, the SP has formed the government in the state.
Decorated with photographs of party chief and former chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, party MP from Rampur Azam Khan, SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav and party’s state president Naresh Uttam Patel, and with the slogan ‘Bado ka haath yuva ka saath’ emerged. Old generation blesses the new), the bus carrying Akhilesh was kept for media viewing at the party office in Lucknow on Saturday.
On the other side of the bus is a picture of the SP chief with the slogan ‘Kisan, Garib, Mahila, Yuva, Karobari, Sab ki Ek Awaaz Hai, Hum Samajwadi’. , all say in one voice, we are socialists).
