Kolkata, 6th March. The Samajwadi Party will hold a two-day national executive meeting in Kolkata on March 18 to discuss the party’s policies and strategies for assembly elections in the three Hindi heartland states later this year and Lok Sabha elections next year, said party vice-president Kiranmoy Nanda.
After an 11-year hiatus, the party’s national executive will convene in Kolkata.
“Our party president Akhilesh Yadav ji will come to Kolkata on March 17 and address workers who 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 said.
When asked if a meeting between Akhilesh Yadav and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was on the cards, he said nothing had been finalized.
“As of now, nothing has been fixed. If she is in town, then obviously, both the leaders will meet,” he said.
Akhilesh Yadav declared his support for Mamata Banerjee’s TMC during the 2021 assembly elections, which she reciprocated during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh elections by campaigning for the former UP CM in the northern state.
Kiranmay Nanda, a former minister in West Bengal’s Left Front government, merged his West Bengal Socialist Party with the Samajwadi Party in 2010.
“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.
