The arrows of statements have once again become very sharp in the politics of Uttar Pradesh and the war of words has reached its peak. After the recent statement given by senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Smriti Irani on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, there has been a huge uproar in the political circles of the state. Amidst this political turmoil, Minister of State in the Yogi government, Danish Azad Ansari, while strongly supporting Smriti Irani’s statement, has made a scathing attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. Minister Danish Azad said in a bold manner that ‘whatever Smriti Irani has said is 100 percent correct.’ Along with this, he has given an open challenge to the Gandhi family and the Congress Party on the issue of development of Amethi and Rae Bareli. On one hand, this new political storm in the politics of Uttar Pradesh has made the Congress camp uncomfortable, on the other hand it has also fueled a war of words between the Samajwadi Party and the BJP. Let us know from the perspective of an unbiased political reporter what allegations Minister Danish Azad made against Rahul Gandhi and why political excitement has increased regarding Amethi.
This entire controversy started when BJP leader Smriti Irani made a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi by questioning his political strategy and his leadership. Smriti Irani had said that Rahul Gandhi does not even have the courage to contest elections in Amethi on his own and he always tries to move ahead with the help of the crutches of other political parties. When the controversy over this statement increased, UP Minister of State for Minority Welfare Danish Azad Ansari came forward and supported Smriti Irani’s words 100 percent. Danish Azad said that Smriti Irani’s statement reflects the ground reality. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party have only deceived and misled the people of Uttar Pradesh and especially the voters of Amethi-Rae Bareli for decades, while the work on the ground has been zero.
Intensifying his attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi family, Minister Danish Azad Ansari cited the development figures of Uttar Pradesh. Putting a direct question, he said that Amethi and Rae Bareli, which the Gandhi family has been calling their ‘fortress’ and ‘home’, just look at the historical figures of those places and see how many new industries were established there during their rule and how many old industries were closed. Danish Azad claimed that instead of developing these areas, Congress kept them backward. He said that the people of Rae Bareli and Amethi have now understood very well how a particular family kept these areas away from development for their political interests. He challenged from an open forum that the Congress Party should present to the public the account of any major development work done for Amethi during its tenure.
Yogi government minister Danish Azad did not stop here, he raised questions on the working style of the Congress party and said that Congress pretends to show itself as a sympathizer of the poor, backward and minorities only during elections. He said that the people of Uttar Pradesh have now become aware and have understood that development is possible only under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Danish Azad claimed that ever since the BJP government came to power, the works of roads, health facilities, education and industrial development have been completed rapidly in Amethi and Rae Bareli without any discrimination. He said that the support base of the Congress party, which practices family politics, has now completely slipped and the public is rejecting them again and again.
Immediately after this aggressive statement of Danish Azad Ansari, the main opposition party of Uttar Pradesh ‘Samajwadi Party’ (SP) has also entered the field and launched a sharp counterattack on BJP. SP spokespersons rejected the statements of Smriti Irani and Danish Azad and said that BJP leaders are making statements on Gandhi family and Rahul Gandhi to divert attention from their failures and main issues like unemployment. It is noteworthy that before the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, every small and big political issue of the state is being taken very seriously. This new war over Amethi Lok Sabha seat, which has been at the center of politics for many decades, clearly shows that in the coming times, this round of allegations and counter-allegations in the politics of Purvanchal and Awadh region is going to take a more severe form.
