Eyeing a big role for his party at the Centre, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today held a meeting with party's Lok Sabha candidates here and asked them to shun differences, if any, with partymen to ensure that SP wins maximum seats.
"You all should work united with common goal of winning maximum number of seats in Loksabha polls. If you have some differences you should shun them and concentrate only on the coming Lok Sabha polls," Yadav told party Loksabha candidates here at SP headquarters.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and SP state president Akhilesh Yadav was also present at the meeting, in which he asked the partymen to ensure that grievances of common man are addressed and schemes of the government are reaching them.
Meanwhile, reacting to BSP supremo Mayawati's statement advocating Ganga Expressway from Ballia to Noida, party spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury said that the scheme was mooted to "benefit capitalists and not for common man".
Yesterday, Mayawati had slammed the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) for disproving the Ganga Expressway Project (GEP) proposed during her tenure.
Ballia-Greater Noida GEP was conceptualised under PPP for boosting development and employment generation in the backward eastern UP region, the former UP CM had said.
