    Ram Rajya possible only through caste census: Akhilesh Yadav

    Lucknow: In a dig at the ruling BJP, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said socialism is at the root of the great concept of “Ram Rajya” and it is possible only through a caste census.

    Yadav’s statement comes days after several opposition parties, including the Congress and the JD(U), demanded a caste census and sought reservation according to the population of SC, ST and OBC communities.

    Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge even wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding an updated caste census. He said meaningful social justice and empowerment programmes are incomplete without such data. Bihar Chief Minister and JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar supported the demand by the Congress party.

    In a tweet in Hindi, Yadav said, “Socialism is the root of the great concept of Ram Rajya. Socialism implements in a true manner on the ground principles like treating everyone equal without discrimination, embracing (one another) with love, giving equal opportunity to everyone and social security.”

    Samajwadi Party’s two-day national executive meeting begins

    The Samajwadi Party on Saturday began its two-day national executive meeting in Kolkata during which it will discuss the party’s policies and strategies for the elections in three Hindi heartland states due later this year and the Lok Sabha polls next year.

    The party’s national executive is being held in Kolkata after a gap of 11 years. Samajwadi Party founder, the late Mulayam Singh Yadav had flown down to the city to chair the previous meeting in the eastern metropolis.

    “We will discuss the party’s strategy for the upcoming elections due later this year in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and then the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. The party will also adopt a political resolution after the meeting,” Kiranmoy Nanda, the party’s national vice-president, had said.

    Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Trinamul Congress and Samajwadi Party had on Friday agreed to put up a united fight against the BJP and sought to edge the Congress out of any such formation, stating that the grand old party needs to shed its “big boss attitude”.

    “It has been decided that the TMC and the SP would unite to fight the BJP. Both the parties would also maintain distance from the Congress,” Nanda had told PTI after the meeting.

    SP president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said that his party is following a policy of maintaining equal distance from both the BJP and the Congress.
