New Delhi, March 6: The Samajwadi Party will hold its two-day national executive in Kolkata starting on March 18 to discuss the party’s policies and strategies for the upcoming assembly elections in the three states with the highest concentration of Hindi speakers and the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, according to party vice-president Kiranmoy Nanda.
After an 11-year hiatus, the party’s national executive will be held in Kolkata.
“Our party president Akhilesh Yadav ji will come to Kolkata on March 17 and address workers meet here. From March 18, our two-day national executive will be held. We will discuss the party’s strategies for the upcoming elections later this year in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and then the Lok Sabha polls in 2024,” Kiranmay Nanda, the party’s national vice-president, told PTI.
Akhilesh Yadav denied that a meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had been planned when asked about the prospect.
Akhilesh Yadav declared his support for the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC during the 2021 assembly elections, and she responded by running a campaign for the former UP CM in the northern state during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh elections.
In 2010, Kiranmay Nanda, a former minister in West Bengal’s previous Left Front administration, merged his West Bengal Socialist Party with the Samajwadi Party.
“This is not the first time that Samajwadi Party’s national executive will be held in Kolkata. It was held here on five occasions, including in 2012. Our national executive meeting is held in various parts of the country, including Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
