Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday termed the Constitution as a "life-giver" and said as long as the Constitution remains safe, "our honour, self-respect and rights will remain safe."

In a post on X in Hindi, Yadav, said, "The way the people of Bahujan Samaj are continuously coming forward to support us after our direct appeal has given new strength to our fight against the BJP in saving the Constitution and reservation."

"People are contacting Samajwadi Party workers and our 'Babasaheb Vahini' across the state and extending their support," he said.

The Babasaheb Vahini is an SP-affiliated outfit named after Dalit icon B R Ambedkar.

Yadav added in his post, "With the people of Bahujan Samaj joining us, there is a new enthusiasm in our struggle for social justice. It seems that our strength has increased manifold. We are repeating again that the Constitution is the life-giver ('samvidhaan hee sanjeevani hai'). As long as the Constitution remains safe, our honour, self-respect and rights will remain safe,"

He urged people to "unite and pledge to vote" for their own welfare and ensure victory for the candidates of SP, Congress and other parties included in the INDIA bloc.

Only the unity of PDA (Picchde, Dalit, Aplasankhyak) will create a golden future for the country, Yadav said.

Voting for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh will take place on May 13 (Monday).
