The newly-formed party will field candidates against Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son Akhilesh. Both have announced to contest coming Lok Sabha polls from Mainpuri and Kannauj respectively.
The newly-formed Samajwadi Secular Morcha President Shivpal Singh Yadav on Friday announced that he would contest all 80 Lok Sabha seats from Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
“We will play a crucial role in uniting disgruntled parties and leaders and will play a crucial role in the formation of the next government at the Centre,” he declared while talking to media in Baghpat on Friday.
The newly-formed party will field candidates against Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son Akhilesh. Both have announced to contest coming Lok Sabha polls from Mainpuri and Kannauj respectively.
Morcha sources, however, felt that Shivpal will never field a candidate against his elder brother Mulayam Singh Yadav, depending on which side the veteran leader is on.
Though Shivpal claims that he has blessings from Mulayam, the Samajwadi patriarch has so far refrained from making any comments on his decision to form the Samajwadi Secular Morcha, a breakaway group of the parent Samajwadi Party, after being sidelined for over two years by Akhilesh Yadav.
Yadav said that he has formed the morcha to provide a platform for uniting smaller parties to come under its umbrella and bring together all disgruntled Samajwadi Party leaders who are feeling ignored and insulted under the present leadership.
Shivpal, who is Samajwadi Party MLA from Jaswantnagar in Etawah, has not quit the parent party as yet even after forming the Morcha. SP Chief AKhilesh Yadav has also not taken any decision on throwing him out of the party after his rebellion.
