Assembly Polls 2013: Samajwadi Party fails to open account in Delhi, MP

NEW DELHI: With Samajwadi Party failing to open its account in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh in the just-held assembly polls, party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today dissolved the state units in the two states.

A brief statement from SP national General Secretary Ram Gopal Yadav said Mulayam Singh has dissolved the state units in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh with immediate effect.

Samajwadi Party was banking on its traditional support base of Other Backward Classes and Muslims and had hoped to win at least seven seats in Delhi. It had fielded candidates in 27 of the 70 seats.

In Madhya Pradesh, SP had put up candidates in 50 constituencies where Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had addressed election rallies.

While Mayawati's BSP failed to make a mark in Delhi this time, it has won three seats in MP and Rajasthan, and one in Chhattisgarh.
