The Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party, after announcing their coalition for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, are now facing the real challenge of uniting their party workers, for that joint flags have been brought out by the two allied partners to encourage their party workers to work in coordination.
"This is just the beginning of solidarity between the two parties. Already, flags of both the parties are being used at meetings of party members of both the parties. In the times to come, you will see some more solidarity efforts by both the parties," said by the Samajwadi Party Spokesperson Ameeque Jamei.
Earlier, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav encouraged his party workers to work in coordination with their allied partner, stressing that Mayawati's respect is his respect.
The message was reciprocated by BSP chief Mayawati urged her party workers to pay equal respect to the SP chief.
Amit Soni said that the party leaders who had previously opted to buy separate party flags, were now opting to buy joint flags, while selling the flags outside the BSP office.
"Post the announcement of alliance between the SP and BSP, the demand for the flags has risen. The demands will increase, once the seats are announced by both the parties and some clarity is given about the probable candidates," he added.
