The Samajwadi Party, in a unique and green gesture, marked its president Akhilesh Yadav's birthday by initiating a statewide sapling plantation drive, organizing community feasts, and hosting blood donation camps. The celebrations were inaugurated on Monday and are set to continue until July 7.
The PDA sapling initiative, representing Pichhadha (backward), Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (minority), aims to foster social equality and environmental conservation. SP chief spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury noted that efforts are underway to transform this drive into a nationwide movement, planting banyan, peepal, and neem trees as symbols of oxygen and social justice.
Akhilesh Yadav expressed gratitude to supporters for their birthday wishes and highlighted the significant social and environmental impact of the PDA initiative. The celebrations were widespread, with thousands of party workers gathering at the SP headquarters in Lucknow. Notable leaders, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and BSP chief Mayawati, extended their best wishes to Yadav.
