Mainpuri (UP), Dec 2 (UNI) In a frontal attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) ahead of by-poll for Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that Samajwad is no longer in the same form as founded by Jay Prakash Narain or DR Lohia and that its new brands of socialism are all part of one family.

Addressing a public meeting for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Raghuraj Singh Shakya, Yogi said, "This is not the socialism of JP and Lohia. Chacha (uncle) Shivpal writes about Lohia, but he does not know what he is writing. Different brands of socialism are visible in one family. The one who has a power is always right or stick based socialism is Shivpal's brand of socialism."

Yogi said, "The socialism of Ram Gopal Yadav was replaced by capitalism. He and his disciples in the SP government did not think twice about seizing any land that was visible from Noida to Firozabad. On the other hand Akhilesh's socialism is opportunistic."

The CM claimed that the SP always looks for an excuse when they lose an election, by either blaming the EVMs or the election commission. "These people used to make accusations whenever elections were to be lost. They have sent Dimple Yadav to contest and lose. They did the same in Kannauj and Firozabad."

The CM said that Mainpuri Lok Sabha does not want 'Samajwad', rather its needs Ram Rajya in which all young people, the poor, farmers, sisters and daughters benefit from programmes without discrimination.

The CM said that the assembly elections were held 8 months ago. "After winning in Karhal, the MLA was not seen by the public for a second time, but our Union Minister SP Singh Baghel visited the area 27 times. MLA Jaiveer Singh in Mainpuri and Ram Naresh Agnihotri from Bhogaon continue to serve the public."

Listing the development works done in Mainpuri under his government, the CM said that the double-engine government gave houses to 37,500 people in Mainpuri in five and a half years. "Why didn't they get houses when the SP government was in power for four years, if there had been significant development? In Mainpuri, toilets for 2.81 lakh poor, 549 community toilets were built by the BJP government. The reality of Mainpuri is shown by these numbers," he said.
