Mulayam begins party's campaign with Azamgarh rally

Lucknow: The Samajwadi Party (SP) will Tuesday officially launch its campaign for 2014 Lok Sabha polls by holding a public rally in Azamgarh, 265 km from here.The rally will be addressed by party chief Mulayam

Hundreds of journalists have been taken to Azamgarh by the party media wing to cover the event, which would also mark the culmination of the first leg of its 'Yatras' to include 17 very backward castes into the ambit of OBCs.



With three ministers from the region and several legislators from the district and neighbouring areas, party leaders say the rally will be a huge success.

Earlier this week, Mulayam Singh Yadav had warned party leaders not to be callous about public support and personally camp in the area to inform and involve people.

Azamgarh has a sizeable population of Muslims and the party wants to win them back amid reports that the Muslims are peeved at the Muzaffarnagar riots in the state.
