Post-poll violence in Uttar Pradesh India
Violence broke out on Wednesday night outside an independent candidate's house in Sitapur area of Uttar Pradesh, after alleged Samajwadi Party workers tried to set his and 13 other houses on fire. So far two people have died in Uttar Pradesh in poll related violence.
Samajwadi Party leader and touted to be the next chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav at a press conference on Friday condemned the post-poll violence in the state that led to death of two.
"Strict action will be taken against those involved," assured Akhilesh.
The Samajwadi Party leader also accused opposition party leaders an said that there are attempts being made to disturb the law and order in the state by the opposing party which not able to take the poll defeat.
"Any Samajwadi Party worker or leader found involved in breaking the law and order in the state will be dealt with strictly," pointed Akhilesh.
"The officers on duty have been told to take strict action against all involved. I want strict actions against all those involved in violence," said Akhilesh.
Akhilesh Yadav thanked Uttar Pradesh for voting for the Samajwadi Party across caste and community lines and giving it a stunning majority at 224 of the 403 seats. He has credited his father's experience and wisdom and the grit of party workers for the win he crafted.
Father Mulayam Singh Yadav will be the next UP Chief Minister, not 39-year-old Akhilesh, and the son makes clear that he was never in line for the mantle despite scripting the lucid UP win. Akhilesh Yadav has won his father his fourth term as Chief Minister. SP MLAs, Mr Yadav said, would meet tomorrow to decide on the modalities of government formation.
Early on Tuesday, once it was clear that the SP would win UP, Akhilesh Yadav stepped out of his party's Lucknow office to be greeted by a sea of joyous supporters, song, dance and colour. As a supporter crowned him with a pagdi, other shouted, "Akhilesh has shown there is no other youth leader."
Mr Yadav has been high on visibility in these elections. The red Gandhi cap, white kurta pyjamaand black sleeveless jacket have been ubiquitous as Akhilesh dashed to every corner of the state.
Akhilesh Yadav wears his party's socialist roots on his sleeve. The son-of-the-soil image of the Samajwadi Party's UP president has been cultivated with care and he does not let it flag at this, his moment in the sun.
He had other challenges. Three years ago, before the 2009 General Elections, the SP had said it was against the use of English and the use of computers. By 2012, the SP manifesto was the first to promise laptops and tablets for students who completed school-leaving. The manifesto is forward looking with an accent of education. Among the many changes the younger Yadav is credited with, is bringing in more young, educated professionals into his party.
He said he had faith in the party's gritty electoral fight to remove the BSP from power; personally that translated into a 10,000-km yatra, 800 rallies in UP over the last six months and a systematic attempt at an image makeover for his Samajwadi Party, all of which have paid off.
