The party is gearing up for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the focus is to strengthen the organisation to take on the BJP with full force.

In Uttar Pradesh by-elections, the ruling BJP won both Rampur and Azamgarh Lok Sabha constituencies. BJP candidate Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi defeated Samajwadi Party candidate Mohammad Asim Raja in the Rampur seat.

The BJP demolished two Samajwadi Party bastions by wresting the Rampur and Azamgarh parliamentary seats. The BJP won both seats in the by-elections.

The Hyderabad MP, reacting to BJP's victory in Samajwadi Party's two strongholds, said that the result clearly shows that Akhilesh's Party has neither the ability nor the capability to defeat the BJP.

"Last few months have been the most 'testing times' of my life," Shivpal Yadav said in reference to the Samajwadi Party.

During the discussion on the budget in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Yogi added that while one criticises the country abroad, the other speaks ill about Uttar Pradesh outside the state.

Akhilesh Yadav launched an attack on the BJP government, in the UP assembly on Wednesday. He called them the most unsuccessful government in history.

Kapil Sibal has filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections as an independent candidate from Uttar Pradesh. He enjoys the support of Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party.

An argument erupted between CM Yogi Adityanath and Leader of Opposition Akhilesh Yadav in the UP legislative assembly over the law & order situation in the state.

The SP chief had on Wednesday gave a shocker when he suggested that only a rock, a red flag, and a peepal tree are enough to be called a temple in the Hindu religion.

Akhilesh Yadav also took a swipe at the BJP, and said that it is using its divisive politics and creating hatred among the people to divert their attention from core issues.

The 3-day-long court-monitored videography survey of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi concluded on May 16.

Mayawati took a direct swipe at Akhilesh Yadav as she wondered how someone who could not fulfil his own dream of becoming the Chief Minister will manage to realise the aspirations of others.

Mayawati said that she has never aspired to become President and that Akhilesh Yadav was dreaming about it to clear his path to become the Chief Minister.

Shivpal Yadav reacted to his nephew’s remark, terming it as "irresponsible" and a statement of 'nadani' (immaturity) and dared him to sack him as party legislator instead.

Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party President Shivpal Yadav reached Sitapur on Friday morning to meet the detained SP MLA and former minister Azam Khan in Sitapur jail.

"If Akhilesh thinks, I am in touch with the Bhartiya Janata Party, why doesn't he expel me," Shivpal Yadav said on Thursday.

Earlier today, the Delhi Municipal Corporation demolished some illegal encroachments in the violence-hit Jahangirpuri area. Among the demolished were a tobacco shop, a scrap dealer's shop, a juice corner and the front gate of a mosque. As per reports, encroachments of both Hindu and Muslim communities were demolished.

Police said the car belonged to "a relative" of MLA Yogesh Verma, who was not travelling in the vehicle.

Azam Khan is languishing in the Sitapur jail and had won from Rampur Sadar seat for the 10th time in the recently concluded Assembly polls. He quit the Lok Sabha membership from Rampur to remain an MLA.
