Will hold press conference at SP headquarters at 11 am
Akhilesh Yadav will also hold a press conference today at 11 am at the party headquarters in Lucknow. In this he will give detailed information about the objective of this Mahila Samman Yojana, selection process and upcoming announcements. SP believes that this initiative will increase confidence in the party among women and will strengthen women voter support in the assembly elections. Experts say that this step has clearly been taken as a political strategy. The number of women voters in UP is quite large and their thinking can influence the election results. In such a situation, giving honors and awards in the name of women personalities will send a positive message to the public. However, it remains to be seen how much the public and women like this initiative.
All parties busy preparing for the upcoming elections
