The political excitement in the politics of Uttar Pradesh has once again reached its peak, where the war of words has intensified between the ruling party and the opposition regarding the upcoming elections and political equations. Directly targeting Samajwadi Party (SP) National President and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Union Minister of State for Finance and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pankaj Chaudhary has given a very sharp and sarcastic statement. While talking to the media during the visit to Maharajganj, Pankaj Chaudhary termed Akhilesh Yadav as ‘Ranchhod’ and said that the leaders who once used to shy away from going to Noida due to the fear of superstition, have now become afraid of contesting elections and even entering the field after seeing their electoral ground slipping. After this statement of the Union Minister, there has been an uproar in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh and a round of allegations and counter-allegations has started between the two parties.
#1. Pankaj Chaudhary’s big taunt: ‘Akhilesh Yadav is haunted by the fear of defeat’
Attacking the Samajwadi Party, Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary said that the BJP always fights elections on development and public issues, whereas the opposition parties do politics only on the basis of familyism and caste equations. He sarcastically said that Akhilesh Yadav’s political history has been a witness to the fact that due to superstition and fear of losing power, he avoided visiting places which were considered inauspicious for him, such as visiting Noida. Now that the people of Uttar Pradesh have completely chosen the path of development and have approved the policies of the double engine government, the SP chief is clearly seeing his imminent defeat. This is the reason why he and his party leaders are afraid of going directly among the public and facing the election field, and that is why he has been termed as ‘Ranchod’.
#1. Old superstition of going to Noida and accusation of running away from the election field
‘Superstition of Noida’ has been a popular story in the political circles, under which many years ago it was believed that whichever Chief Minister goes to Noida during his tenure, his government will never return to power. Although, with time, many Chief Ministers have broken this myth, but Pankaj Chaudhary reminded the same old incident and raised questions on the mental condition of Akhilesh Yadav. The BJP leader said that a leader who decides on his travels due to minor superstitions, how will he protect the larger interests of the public. He said that today the public has become completely aware and is ready to give a befitting reply to the anti-development forces, which is why opposition leaders are now trying to leave the field and run away.
#1. Samajwadi Party’s counterattack: ‘BJP is making statements to hide its failures’
After this sharp attack by Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary, Samajwadi Party leaders and spokespersons also immediately took charge. SP leaders hit back and said that Bharatiya Janata Party has no answer left for its failures, inflation, unemployment and stalled development works, hence its ministers are making such personal and petty statements to divert the public’s attention. SP says that under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav, the party is working strongly on the ground and the people are fully prepared to uproot BJP in the upcoming elections. The party claimed that the people of Uttar Pradesh want change and are fed up with the false promises of the BJP.
#1. Impact on upcoming elections: What will be the next direction of UP politics?
Political analysts believe that as the elections are approaching in Uttar Pradesh, the war of words between the leaders will become more aggressive. A senior leader like Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary coming into the field and directly attacking the SP chief proves that this time BJP is in no mood to give a walkover to the opposition on any front. On the other hand, Samajwadi Party is also continuously trying to corner the government as per its strategy. In the coming days, it will be very interesting to see how the public reacts to these political statements and attacks and which side the election camel sits on.
