Akhilesh Yadav launches Samajwadi Party campaign from Raebareli

Source: NDTV · 25 Sep 2026, 02:31 UTC

Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav began his party’s Uttar Pradesh poll campaign with a public meeting in Raebareli, a Congress stronghold and the constituency of sitting MP Rahul Gandhi. He arrived in the city aboard the party’s campaign vehicle, the ‘PDA Rath’.

Akhilesh Yadav began the Samajwadi Party’s campaign for elections in Uttar Pradesh with a public meeting in Raebareli, NDTV reported. Raebareli is described as a Congress bastion and is represented in Parliament by Rahul Gandhi. Yadav’s decision to begin the campaign there placed the event in a constituency associated with the Congress leader.

Yadav arrived in the city aboard the Samajwadi Party’s ‘PDA Rath’, the party’s campaign vehicle. He then addressed a public meeting. The supplied report says the Bharatiya Janata Party reacted to Yadav’s appearance, but does not provide the content of that reaction.

It also gives no details of Yadav’s speech, the policies discussed, the size of the gathering or the wider campaign schedule. The available material establishes the location and format of the opening event, but does not describe its political consequences or the response from Congress.
