2007 promises to be politically eventful for UP

Lucknow, Jan 2 (UNI) The year 2007 promises to be eventful and hectic in Uttar Pradesh with all the major political parties having lined up their political activities in view of the coming assembly polls in the state anytime before May 14.

A series of rallies, 'yatras' and meetings have been announced by the parties starting this week. The new year is likely to be the most eventful as far as the political scenario for UP is concerned.

Ruling Samjawadi Party, Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress have chalked out their political strategies ahead of the assembly polls.

The Mulayam Singh Yadav-led SP has taken a lead in this regard as the party has announced to observe 'Black Day' on January 4 to protest the hanging of toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. This will be the first major political event of the year being undertaken immediately after new year celebrations ended.

This would be first of the SP progammes being chalked out by the party during the weeks to come. Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav is slated to address several meetings in different parts of UP.
