Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 19 : Samajwadi Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand on Wednesday said that the party chief Akhilesh Yadav will initiate action against rebel MLAs. He said that Yadav would submit a letter to the Assembly speaker regarding the same.

"Samajwadi Party is soon going to take action against its rebel MLAs. Soon the Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav will submit a letter to the Assembly Speaker and take major action against the rebel MLA. The actions will be taken as per the rules. Be it the MLC elections of the state or the Lok Sabha elections, action will be taken against the Samajwadi Party MLAs who showcased rebellious attitudes and indulged in cross-voting," said Fakhrul Hasan.
He further launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of farmers and said, "PM Modi promised that the income of farmers will be doubled.
