Lucknow. Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav on Wednesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Aparna Yadav has been given membership of the party by senior BJP office-bearers in Delhi. BJP is seeing his decision as its big victory, while SP President Akhilesh Yadav’s first reaction has also come. SP President Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at his younger brother Prateek Yadav’s wife Aparna Bisht Yadav to join the BJP and said that he is happy that the ideology of Samajwadi Party is expanding. He also said that Netaji (Mulayam Singh Yadav) had tried to convince Aparna a lot.
In a press conference held on Wednesday at the SP headquarters in Lucknow, Akhilesh Yadav said, “…First of all, I would like to congratulate and wish you all the best. At the same time, we are happy that the socialist ideology is expanding. I hope our ideology will save the Constitution there. Does Aparna have Mulayam Singh Yadav’s blessings? In response, Akhilesh said, Netaji tried a lot to explain.
Did Aparna change party after she was denied SP ticket? On this SP President Akhilesh Yadav said, ‘Tickets have not been distributed yet, who has to get tickets, who will not get it, it depends on the area and the public, as well as on our internal survey.’ He also said that BJP is giving tickets to those whom SP is not able to give tickets. He said that it is not possible for everyone to get tickets in the alliance. Therefore, coalition dharma should be followed. If some people of SP are in touch with BJP then people of BJP are also in touch of SP now.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav said that the Samajwadi Pension Scheme will be started again in the Samajwadi Party government and under this work will be done to give pension of Rs 18,000 per year to needy women and BPL families. Earlier, Rs 6000 was given earlier. Women and sisters will get the benefit of this scheme. He said that many schemes for women, sisters and daughters would be included in the manifesto of SP. He said that snake charmers village would be built for snake charmers along the expressway.
On the question of contesting the assembly elections, SP President Akhilesh Yadav said that “I will fight the elections only after taking permission from the people of Azamgarh if I contested the elections because the people there won me.” I am MP from there. He said that I want that wherever I contest elections, it should be before Yogi’s election.
