Akhilesh Yadav Accuses BJP of Spreading Hatred among Communities
Right now, they are spreading hatred against the Muslim community. In the coming days, they will target the PDA community.
Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav accused the ruling BJP of weakening the nation both economically and socially. "The country has become weak due to the spread of hatred in society. Their (BJP's) conduct, language, and behaviour are weakening society and creating a rift," Yadav said at a press conference today.
Accusing the BJP of targeting minority communities, Akhilesh Yadav said, "Right now, they are spreading hatred against the Muslim community. In the coming days, they will target the PDA community." PDA is an initialism for Pichhda (backward classes), Dalit, and Adivasi.
The former UP Chief Minister also alleged that the BJP is subverting the democratic process. "The BJP has adopted a new strategy to prevent people from casting their votes. That is why I have asked my party members to ensure that all those who have turned 18 register as voters," he said.
Taking a swipe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the recent Kumbh Mela tragedy, Akhilesh Yadav referred to him as 'Tees Maar Khan'. "I'm saying this because he loves the number 30. How many died, 30; how much business was done, 30 crores. This kind of 'Tees Mar Khan' type of accounting can be given by no one except our CM," he said.
Mocking the Chief Minister's claims of employment generation during the Kumbh, he said: "CM Yogi claimed that lakhs of students in Prayagraj earned money by ferrying devotees on bikes during the Kumbh. When did the government decide that private vehicles can be used for commercial purposes? Does this mean that youth will now get employment once in 144 years?"
On the issue of language, he defended Urdu, calling it an integral part of Indian culture. "We do not even realise when we switch between Urdu and Hindi. Yet, the BJP is opposing Urdu," he remarked.
Asserting that his Samajwadi Party is fully prepared for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, he said the underprivileged communities in the State, along with women and other minorities, are united in their resolve to strengthen the PDA's political voice.
