Jayant Choudhary retaliated on Akhilesh’s ‘Chavanni’ statement, said – If you wanted to speak cheap words, you would have taken my name.


These days, sharp statements are being made in the politics of Uttar Pradesh and the political temperature is continuously rising. Recently, a controversial statement given by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has created a stir in the politics of the state. After this statement, the war of words between the ruling party and the opposition has intensified. In particular, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) President and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary has reacted strongly to this and made a sharp counterattack. There is a strong discussion in political circles as to how much such rhetoric will affect the equations before the upcoming elections.

What was Akhilesh Yadav’s ‘Chavanni’ statement and the beginning of the controversy?

The whole controversy started when a video of Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav surfaced. During this, without taking anyone’s name, he taunted that he had converted some people from rupees to rupees, yet they left him and went away. Political analysts believe that his gesture was directly towards Rashtriya Lok Dal and Jayant Chaudhary, because for some time there has been distance in the relations between the two parties. Since this statement came to light, a round of political reactions started in the entire state including Western Uttar Pradesh and there was a lot of anger among RLD workers.

Jayant Chaudhary’s befitting reply, said- ego brings downfall

Countering this statement of Akhilesh Yadav, RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary expressed his views in very sharp words. He clearly said that in this political battle, if some cheap words had to be uttered and the target had to be targeted, then his name should have been taken directly. Jayant Chaudhary expressed strong objection to the targeting of Jat community and other comments. He bluntly said that he has seen such political arrogance very closely and history is witness to the fact that such conduct ultimately leads only to downfall. After his answer, political excitement has increased further.

NDA alliance and political equation of western UP

After this entire incident, it seems to have a deep impact on the upcoming political equations of Uttar Pradesh. There are reports of resentment regarding this statement among the Jat and farmer communities in western Uttar Pradesh. RLD leaders and party workers say that the public is Janardan and no leader makes anyone anything, rather it is the public that takes everyone from the ground up. After the alliance of BJP and RLD, the opposition parties are continuously trying to find their ground in this area, but due to such statements the political atmosphere has completely heated up and both the parties are leaving no chance to dominate each other.
