Former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav, his wife Dimple Yadav and Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan are among the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) star campaigners for the April 23 civic polls.
First list soon
“As many as 76 party leaders are in the first list of top campaigners for the civic polls. Our party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav, Jaya Bachchan, general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav, and several SP MPs, MLAs, MLCs and member of the national executive will be campaigning for our candidates,” said the party’s Delhi unit chief Usha Yadav.
The BJP, meanwhile, has lined up UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for campaigning, among others. The Congress, too, has fronted big guns.
The SP plans to field candidates on all 272 seats. “Our first list of candidates would be out soon,” said Ms. Yadav.
