New Delhi. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav had called a meeting this week to discuss the defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. In this meeting, a fight broke out between the party leaders in front of Akhilesh and they started exposing each other in front of the party president. However, Akhilesh Yadav has expressed displeasure over this kind of indiscipline. What happened was that during the discussion on the defeat of SP candidate Sunita Verma in Meerut in the Lok Sabha elections, the factionalism among the party leaders came to the fore.
According to sources, in this meeting, Sunita Verma’s husband and former MLA Yogesh Verma said that if the organization had fought the election strongly, then the Meerut seat would have been with the SP today. Without naming Sardhana MLA Atul Pradhan, he alleged that the party had lost the won seat due to infighting and factionalism. Meerut District President Vipin Chaudhary hit back at Yogesh Verma and said that the candidate did not fight the election strongly. The way people should have been connected in the election, that was not done and expenses were also cut down, this was the reason for the defeat.
Some party leaders demanded the removal of Vipin Chaudhary from the post. They said that Vipin has failed to unite the organization strongly. Not only this, SP leaders also raised questions on Vipin’s working style. Let us tell you that Akhilesh Yadav had earlier announced the name of Sardhana MLA Atul Pradhan, who is considered very close to him, as the party candidate from Meerut Lok Sabha seat. But later Atul’s ticket was cancelled and given to Sunita Verma. SP officials of Hastinapur assembly constituency targeted former minister Prabhudayal Valmiki. They said that Prabhudayal failed to make the party candidate of Bijnor contest the election strongly and BJP’s Chandan Chauhan won.
