Supporters of Samajwadi Party leader Durga Prasad Saroj today protested at the SP headquarters here against the party leadership's decision to drop him as the candidate for 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
His large number of supporters reached the SP headquarters this morning and started shouting slogans against the party leadership, demanding that Durga should be given a chance.
They were later assured that the party leaders will look into the matter, and told not to indulge in indiscipline.
In party's parliamentary board meeting here yesterday, Durga was replaced by Bechai Saroj as the candidate from Lalganj seat on the basis of a negative report against him.
The meeting was attended by party's top brass, including SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
