Mulayam meets senior SP leaders to review poll result

“A meeting of all the party candidates who faced defeat will be held here at the party office in a day or two to review party's performance in the polls,” a senior party leader said.

The party, sources said, could also make changes in the UP government by removing some ministers and bringing news faces. He may also go for a big overhaul in the party.

In a face saving statement, the party had yesterday said that its position was better than other parties like Congress and BSP and claimed that there was only a slight dent in its voter base.

“SP got 22.26 per cent votes while in 2009 it got 23.26 per cent votes,” party spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury had said in a statement yesterday.
