Some shaky leaders are giving statements to keep BJP in power


Former Union Minister and Rashtriya Shoshit Samaj Party chief Swami Prasad Maurya, famous for his sharp statements and sharp attacks in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, has once again strongly attacked the Samajwadi Party and its leadership. Expressing objection to the recent statements of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, Swami Prasad Maurya used very sharp words and termed him a ‘thetarti leader’ (dogmatic politician). He alleged that some leaders in the opposition camp, through their irresponsible and absurd statements, are making the way for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and indirectly helping them to remain in power. After this strong political attack by Maurya, the temperature of Uttar Pradesh politics has suddenly increased and the war of words between the major opposition parties has intensified.

During a press conference held in Lucknow, when Swami Prasad Maurya was asked a question about the recent stand of Samajwadi Party and the statements of Akhilesh Yadav, he took on the SP leadership without any hesitation. Maurya said that the people of Uttar Pradesh are today suffering from inflation, unemployment, deteriorating law and order and social injustice, but instead of fulfilling the responsibility of the main opposition party, some leaders are making such statements which divert attention from the core issues. He said that “such shaky leaders are making unrestrained nonsense and statements only to keep BJP in power.” According to Maurya, unless there is clarity and honesty towards social justice in the opposition, it will be impossible to defeat BJP.

Swami Prasad Maurya, who is engaged in sharpening the politics of Dalits, backward people and the deprived through his new party, also raised serious questions on Akhilesh Yadav’s ‘PDA’ (Backward, Dalit, Minority) slogan. He said that nothing is achieved by merely giving slogans of PDA from the platforms, but on the ground, those sections have to participate. He alleged that whenever it comes to the rights of Bahujans and backward classes, the SP leadership maintains silence or adopts an evasive attitude. Maurya stressed that his party will continue to fight from the streets to Parliament without any political compromise to protect the exploited, the victims and the Constitution.

This statement of Swami Prasad Maurya has given rise to a new debate in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh. Political analysts believe that this attack by Maurya is not just a personal resentment, but is part of a well-thought-out strategy to solve the upcoming political equations. The ruling BJP is expected to get direct political benefits due to internal divisions in the opposition camp and allegations of each other helping the BJP. BJP leaders have also seized on Maurya’s statement and said that now even former opposition colleagues are accepting the fact that Samajwadi Party neither has any policy nor any vision.

The challenge of preventing fragmentation of opposition votes has become more serious ahead of the upcoming local elections and upcoming assembly by-elections. Now it remains to be seen what reaction comes from the Samajwadi Party on these sharp attacks of Swami Prasad Maurya, but at the moment this statement of ‘theterti leader’ has brought the political temperature of Uttar Pradesh to a boil.
