Be ready for early polls in UP, SP tells party workers

Ballia, Jun 3: Opposition Samajwadi Party today asked its workers to be ready for Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh any time as the Mayawati government could go in for early elections.

"The Mayawati government is alarmed over deteriorating situation in the state and can have the polls earlier than its scheduled time (early next year)," SP General Secretary Ram Gopal Yadav said at a state-level convention of party workers here.

He charged the chief minister with committing atrocities on farmers in the name of land acquisition and alleged that corruption has been institutionalised by the BSP government.
