UP. Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya has resigned from the post of General Secretary of the party. Swami Prasad Maurya wrote in his letter, ever since I joined the Samajwadi Party. Since then continuously tried to increase the support base. On the day of joining SP, I had given the slogan – Eighty-five are ours, there is division even among 15. Our great men had also drawn a similar line. Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar, the creator of the Indian Constitution, talked about “Bahujan Hitay Bahujan Sukhay”, while Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia said that “Socialists tied the knot, backward got sixty out of a hundred”. Similarly, the slogan of Kashiram Saheb, the great leader of social change, was – “85 versus 15”.
Despite the sudden change of candidates in the 2022 assembly elections, he was successful in increasing the party’s support base. The result was that SP had only 45 MLAs in 2017. This number increased to 110. Without any demand you sent me to the Legislative Council and immediately after made me the National General Secretary, thank you very much for this honour.
