In fact, this office of Samajwadi Party was being operated in the residence of the Executive Officer (EO) of the municipality, which the process of evacuating has now started. The entire team of the municipality is also involved in this campaign. This dispute of SP office is not new. In the year 2005, the municipality allocated the residence of its Executive Officer near Nakta Dana intersection to the SP office at a monthly rent. This allocation was done under the rules and procedures at that time, but later it was canceled citing irregularities. On 12 November 2020, the municipality canceled the allocation and said that this process was not in line with the prescribed rules.

After this, the SP started a legal battle against this decision. The then SP District President Anand Singh Yadav filed a petition in the High Court, but on 1 December 2020, he withdrew it himself. Subsequently, in the year 2021, the SP filed a case in the court of the Civil Judge (Senior Division), which is still under consideration.

The municipality issued a notice to the SP to vacate the office by 10 June 2025. It was clearly stated in this notice that the SP office is being operated illegally and it should be evacuated immediately. However, the SP did not accept this order. After this, the municipality took a tough stance and decided to take action.

Now June 18, that is, today the municipality has made extensive preparations to carry out this action. Police force of seven police stations and 200 soldiers have been deployed outside this office. That is, there is complete preparation to vacate it. The entire team of the municipality is also involved in this campaign.

SP workers will lie outside the office

On the other hand, SP’s Lok Sabha in -charge Virpal Singh has reached Pilibhit and held a PDA meeting with party workers. He has termed the process of vacating the office as undemocratic and said that the SP will struggle at two levels on this issue. One in the court and the other on the road with the public. The SP leader warned that if the administration forcefully, the workers would lie outside the office. He told that the party is at this place for the last 25 years. This matter is under the notice of SP President Akhilesh Yadav. A case of former District President Anand Singh is under consideration in the court. On the question asked in this regard, Virpal Singh refused to comment.
