The Samajwadi Party started a week-long sapling plantation drive and organised ‘bhandaras’ (community feasts) and blood donation camps to mark the birthday of its president Akhilesh Yadav’s birthday on Monday.
Yadav was born on July 1, 1973.
The party workers are celebrating Yadav’s birthday in a simple manner by planting saplings, SP chief spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury told PTI.
Party spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary said in a statement that all the leaders and workers of the party will together plant “PDA trees” in every village.
“Banyan, Peepal and Neem saplings will be planted as PDA trees, which will give the ‘praanvaayu’ of social equality-equity everyday as a symbol of social justice along with the conservation of the environment,” Chaudhary said.
He said efforts will be made to make the “PDA tree” plantation drive a nationwide movement in the coming time.
Before the Lok Sabha elections, Akhilesh Yadav had coined the slogan of PDA — Pichhadha, Dalit, Alpsankhyak (backward, Dalit and minority) — to woo the voters of the these communities.
