Uttar Pradesh minister and leader of the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), Om Prakash Rajbhar, has leveled serious accusations against Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav. Rajbhar claims that Yadav engaged in caste-based favoritism during his time as chief minister, sidelining Dalits and minority communities.
The allegations came in response to Yadav's recent promise to conduct a caste census if his party is voted into power. Rajbhar criticized what he perceives as Yadav's duplicity, pointing out that during his five-year tenure, Yadav made several caste-based appointments in government positions.
In a separate development, Akhilesh Yadav has promised to erect a statue of Maharaja Suheldev at the Gomti Riverfront in Lucknow, as a bid to garner support from the Suheldev community for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
