Lucknow, 23 July: Rifts have emerged just days after Akhilesh Yadav’s uncle, Shivpal Yadav, and former Uttar Pradesh Minister OP Rajbhar were spotted at a dinner held by Yogi Adityanath for Droupadi Murmu before of the presidential elections.
Rajbhar and Shivpal Yadav had both entered poll fray in alliance with Yadav’s Samajwadi Party in 2022 UP elections.
In a letter sent amid speculation about the two leaders’ developing ties to BJP, the Samajwadi Party told them, “You are free to move anywhere you feel you are receiving greater respect.” “I applaud the severing of alliance,” SBSP (Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party) president Om Prakash Rajbhar stated. He also accused Akhilesh Yadav of forsaking the cause of the underprivileged.
He said he would continue to fight for the cause of the most backward; Akhilesh Yadav does not want to wage that fight. He continued he had advised Akhilesh to field the most backwards’ Kashyaps, Rajbhars, and Khumars in the 2022 UP assembly elections, when Yadav paid a deaf ear to the suggestions. Rajbhar said that he suggested Akhilesh Yadav to award tickets to most backward if former’s Yadav-Muslim strategy is not working in Azamgarh Lok Sabha by-elections, but towards the end, Akhilesh offered the ticket to a Yadav.
“Akhilesh granted us talaq, and we accept it. Talaq kabool hai,” Rajbhar said emphatically. “Akhilesh has navratnas, or advisors. These are the advisors who cannot win their own booth,” he opined.
