Samajwadi Party adopts blue dress code for student wing
The Samajwadi Party (SP) announced a change to the dress code of its student wing, the SP Student Assembly. The new code replaces the traditional red attire with blue jeans and blue T‑shirts for party officials. The change was announced by SP leader Akhilesh Yadav. The timing comes ahead of the Uttar Pradesh state elections. One outlet described the move as part of a broader “PDA” strategy to refresh the party’s image. Another outlet linked the change to an effort to attract Dalit voters and Gen‑Z supporters. No further details on implementation were provided.
