Fortifying his grip over the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday appointed party heads in seven more districts, a day after announcing new chiefs for four districts.
“On directives of National President Akhilesh Yadav, State President Naresh Uttam today appointed new district presidents in Mainpuri, Moradabad, Fatehpur, Etawah, Farukhabad, Firozabad and Hardoi districts,” a statement from the Akhilesh camp said. The existing presidents of these district units were sacked with immediate effect to pave the way for new faces.
