There remains nothing unusual about the empty pandal erected for the political meetings. Recently, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav has to face the demoralising scene in MP’s Budhni assembly realm. He appeared to be another political leader who tasted the disgrace of empty red chairs arranged for the public. There were a scant number of people in the meeting venue who could be reportedly counted on the fingers. Why so? The party must be contemplating this extraordinarily unbearable experience.
It was here the Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav reached with his supporters confidently to address the fixed meeting in support of his candidate Mirchi Baba. But what he saw remained surprising. Helplessly, he had to return to save his skin without addressing the meeting. It was quite disheartening for him. According to the programme, a magnificent meeting was to be held in the Budhni Assembly of Sehore district in support of SP candidate Mirchi Baba. But merely a few people reached the Pandal there.
The entire pandal was lying empty. Only a few chosen people were present there, as the news goes with all the vehemence. All of these things are of course what makes the party meeting a failure in toto. Not only does it symbolise a long-awaited sea change in the hopes of Akhilesh Yadav. He had vowed to enable his party to a dizzying height in other states. It signals an uncommon departure from his sentimentality and a swift return to the trendy approach to conceivable political manoeuvrings.
