BJP instigating conflicts, engaging in negative politics: Akhilesh
Kanpur:
Samajwadi Party
chief
Akhilesh Yadav
on Wednesday again condemned the tonsuring of a non-Brahmin Katha Vachak in Etawah by a group of men after finding out their caste. He said PDA scholars are being stopped from narrating spiritual stories.
Speaking to reporters in Farrukhabad, he said such Dalit persecution would cease when SP will form govt.
The SP chief claimed that oppression of backward classes, Dalits, and minorities has reached unprecedented peak under the BJP govt.
He accused the BJP of instigating conflicts along religious and caste lines and engaging in negative politics.
Yadav was in Farrukhabad to attend the 13th day rituals of late Samajwadi Party leader and former MP Chhote Singh Yadav.
He said BJP govt in Uttar Pradesh is laying the groundwork for an "old emergency," asserting that an "undeclared emergency" is currently in effect across the country.
He alleged that "discrimination based on caste and religion is rampant under the BJP's rule, and that inflation and corruption have reached their peak."
Drawing a parallel to the Emergency that followed Jaiprakash Narayan's anti-corruption movement, he said, "At that time, there was a declared Emergency, but the BJP govt has imposed an undeclared Emergency this time."
