Week after huge bypoll defeats in Samajwadi Party’s stronghold Rampur and Azamgarth, the party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday dissolved all the national, state and district executive bodies including the youth and the women’s wing, with immediate effect.

The Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, except for the Uttar Pradesh president of the party, with immediate effect dissolved party’s national, state and district executive bodies. National presidents, state presidents, district presidents of all the party’s organizations, including youth and women’s wings, have also been dissolved, the SP said on its Twitter handle.

However, the party’s Uttar Pradesh president Naresh Uttam will continue to remain in his position, the Samajwadi Party said.

No official reason has been confirmed by the party but the poll pundits are looking it as a move to revamp the party after the Lok Sabha bypoll debacle in the party’s bastions Rampur and Azamgarh.

The Samajwadi Party is gearing up for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the focus is to strengthen the organization to take on the BJP with full force, a senior party leader said.

In another big setback months after suffering defeat from the rival BJP in 2022 assembly elections, Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party has lost both strongholds Azamgarh and Rampur.

In Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur, the BJP candidate Ghanshyam Lodhi won with a margin of over 40,000 votes, while the party nominee Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua has won Azamgarh seat.
