“Once before we had taken out a cycle rally in a disciplined manner which was praised by everyone...This time around if we work properly, people of Lucknow would also extend support to the party like in the Vidhan Sabha polls and it (the party) could win the Lucknow Lok Sabha seat,” he said.
In an apparent dig at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the SP chief said the UP government has in the form of schemes and programmes already given to its people more than the budget of Gujarat.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav rued that though the achievements of the SP government were more, it lagged in propagating them.
“Last time SP workers had come on cycles to remove the government which had put up statues and spoiled the state”, he said asking workers to propagate the government's achievements at the booth level.
“The coming elections are that of netaji (Mulayam Singh)... Samajwadis would not get such an opportunity again and they can show their strength in Delhi”, he said while cautioning workers against the conspiracies of the opponents. The week-long cycle rally, which will highlight the SP government's achievements, would cover all Vidhan Sabha seats.
