Samajwadi Cadre's Pitch Dimple Yadav for PM as Mainpuri Gears Up for Polls Oneindia

In the heart of Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri, the stronghold of the Samajwadi Party, the party's cadre is rallying behind their local MP and party stalwart, Dimple Yadav, with an ambitious call – to see her as the next Prime Minister of India. As the region gears up for polling on May 7, the voices on the ground paint a picture of disillusionment with the incumbent BJP government, which they believe has failed to live up to its promises. The party workers allege that the ruling dispensation has neglected the needs and aspirations of the people, and they see Dimple Yadav as a beacon of hope – a leader who understands the grassroots issues and can steer the nation towards progress. With fervent support from the party's base, the Samajwadi Party is gearing up for a fierce battle, aiming to regain its foothold in the state and potentially propel Dimple Yadav to the national stage. #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhaPolls #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #LSPolls2024 ~PR.152~PR.282~ED.103~HT.98~##~
