There is an atmosphere of confusion, contradiction and anarchy in the Samajwadi party before the lok sabha elections to be held next year. SP, which was capable of presenting the main challenge to bjp in Uttar Pradesh, seems to be trapped in a trap of its own making. The party leadership remains in a state of confusion, due to which political strategies are ruined due to personal likes and dislikes.
There is complete anarchy in the party and leaders have started contradicting themselves. akhilesh yadav may be an undisputed leader in his party but he remains confused about his position, strategies and political moves. As a member of the india Bloc, the SP does not want to isolate itself among the opposition members. However, she also wants to remain in the driving seat in Uttar Pradesh – these two things cannot happen together.
workers surprised
Akhilesh's relations with the congress are stuck in a hot-hot-cold situation and the lack of clarity on the issue has left his party workers perplexed. A senior party MLA said, “We don't know what our relationship is with the Congress. There is a strange distance between the two parties at the grassroots level, if the differences are not resolved now then the alliance will become unpleasant during the elections. As opposition parties, we do not speak the same language nor are we unanimous on key issues.
Akhilesh has been promoting soft Hindutva and is now being cautious in speaking on issues related to minorities, especially Muslims. However, senior SP leader Swami prasad Maurya is working against Akhilesh's Hindutva policy by regularly making anti-Hindu statements. Maurya's stance on the quatrains of Ramcharitmanas is "anti-Dalit", and his questioning of the nature of Goddess lakshmi and his comments on Sanatan dharma are not going down well with upper caste Hindus within the party.
