Mulayam asks CM to fulfil party’s promises in 2 years

On his part,Akhilesh assured that the SP government will honour all commitments. “We will spend public money on the welfare of public only. We have initiated several schemes for the benefit of the people,” the Chief Minister said.

Mulayam also said that the partition of the country was a mistake and a confederation of India,Pakistan and Bangladesh should be formed. He also stated that India should help Nepal in its crisis and keep a tab on China.

Naresh and his MLA son Nitin Agarwal left no stone unturned to make it an impressive event. The town was decked up for the occasion,particularly Vatganj,where Naresh’s ancestral house is located. Mulayam said: “I wish Naresh good health and hope he will play important role in national politics.”

The party’s Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan,too,was present and addressed the gathering. This is her first appearance in a party programme after becoming a Rajya Sabha member earlier this year.

Naresh,a known party hopper,had organised a similar rally in 2004 to commemorate his 25 years in politics. At that time,Amar Singh too had attended the rally along with Mulayam.

This time,he managed to bring all SP leaders of Hardoi on stage,including Ashok Bajpayee who had lost the Assembly election from Sawaijpur. “This is the beginning of the campaigning for the Lok Sahba elections. We have to win maximum seats for the SP,” Naresh said.
