VARANASI: Stung by the rousing reception to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi just 10 days ago and growing popularity of Bharatiya Janata Party which is increasing its outreach, Samajwadi Party has bought 4,374 sqmt land in Azamgarh to set up office for its national president Akhilesh Yadav.
In desperation to save its fortress in east UP after the Azamgarh visit of Owaisi on January 12, the SP completed the process of registry of 4,374 sqmt land at Anwarganj, around six km from the town on Friday.

SP district president Hawaldar Yadav said the construction of party chief’s parliamentary constituency office would start soon and is expected to be ready before 2022 UP polls.
A big band of SP leaders, including Balram Yadav, Durga Prasad Yadav, MLA Nafish Ahmad, Behai Saroj and party office bearers present on the occasion said a grand party office would help expand the party base in Purvanchal and consolidate its votebank ahead of the 2022 elections.
Taking a jibe at SP’s buying land for office after Owaisi’s visit, AIMIM district president Shaukat Ali Mahul said, “This shows that SP is afraid of our leader Owaisi as well as our party after our good show in Bihar elections. This buying of land will not help SP in misleading voters, especially minorities. SP’s vote base fell in 2017 and 2019 elections and minorities saved him. But, he never did anything to keep his promise of 18% quota to minorities as well as on CAA,
NRC and triple talaq issues. The non-minority vote base of SP has already shifted to BJP.” BJP district unit president Dhruv Singh taunted, “Since 2022 assembly polls are approaching, Akhilesh is now focusing on Azamgarh. But, he should know that OBC votes have shifted from his party.”
