Highlights
- SP dissolves all national, state exec bodies with immediate effect
- No official reason has been given by the party
- SP suffered Lok Sabha bypoll debacle in the party's bastions Rampur and Azamgarh
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday dissolved the national, state and district executive bodies of all its organisations, including the youth and the women's wing, with immediate effect. Though no official reason has been given, the move is seen as an attempt to revamp the SP after the Lok Sabha bypoll debacle in the party's bastions Rampur and Azamgarh.
The party's Uttar Pradesh president Naresh Uttam will, however, continue to remain in his position.
