Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav warned his leaders against groupism.
Warning Samajwadi Party leaders against groupism and back-biting, Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav today asked its youth leaders to maintain discipline as they have to take the party forward.
"Shun groupism...instead of being supporters of any individual, you should back Samajwadi Party...the (true) wellwishers of the party have been identified as well as who all are wellwishers of those indulging in wrong practices.
"I want unity in the party and a government with clear majority...this is my target," Mr Yadav said as the ruling party geared up for the do-or-die Assembly polls few months later.
Addressing party workers in the bastion of Ansari brothers who have since merged their Quami Ekta Dal (QED) with SP, he said this will further strengthen the party in Purvanchal and ensure impressive victory in the coming elections.
"Afzal Ansari and his brother have come at a time that it has strengthened the SP...althougth some within the party had opposed it, but Shivpal cooperated and I got the Ansari brothers into the party," he said.
In an apparent reference to youth-wing workers leading a campaign during the recent family fued in SP, Mr Yadav said, "Workers should tell him and other office bearers about the shortcomings and wrong doings in the government and party in a disciplined manner as this it their right but still people are indulging in groupism and back biting...back biting never improves anyone's image."
