OP Rajbhar Criticizes Akhilesh Yadavs Ayodhya Statement, Questions His Record in Office
OP Rajbhar slams Akhilesh Yadav over his Ayodhya remarks, questioning his governance during his tenure as UP Chief Minister.
Ambedkar Nagar, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Om Prakash Rajbhar, a cabinet minister in the Uttar Pradesh government, has sharply criticized Akhilesh Yadav, the national president of the Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister of the state. This follows Yadav’s recent social media post in which he stated that if his party returns to power, they would develop Ayodhya as a global hub for Sanatan pilgrimage.
Rajbhar wasted no time in targeting Yadav’s record, questioning what he accomplished during his five years in office. He alleged that during Yadav’s tenure, prayers were offered at Hanuman Garhi’s steps, and warned that if Yadav were to regain power, it could lead to prayers being held at the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
He accused Yadav of disrespecting Sanatan traditions, asserting that if he truly valued Hinduism, he would not undermine it with his actions. Rajbhar pointed out that Yadav visited Kashi and Ayodhya without offering prayers, suggesting that his recent embrace of Sanatan values is merely a political tactic.
Rajbhar mocked Yadav’s daily routine, claiming he wakes up late and engages in superficial religious practices. He questioned Yadav’s actions, asking what he is truly doing for the community.
On the topic of the People’s Development Authority (PDA), Rajbhar expressed skepticism about Yadav’s intentions. He claimed that Yadav’s version of PDA seems to benefit only his family, which he alleged has a significant political presence in the region.
Rajbhar accused Yadav of misleading the Muslim community for electoral gain, challenging him to nominate a Muslim candidate for Chief Minister if he genuinely supports inclusivity.
In response to Yadav’s allegations of government exploitation of PDA members, Rajbhar pointed out that Yadav himself had a history of nepotism during his administration, favoring his own caste in government job recruitments.
He emphasized that the current government is focused on merit-based recruitment for all eligible candidates, regardless of caste or religion, and criticized the previous Samajwadi Party for corruption and favoritism in job placements.
Rajbhar also addressed Yadav’s comments regarding religious figures, urging him to reflect on his own statements about faith. He noted that the government has formed a Backward Classes Commission as per High Court directives, and elections will proceed once the commission submits its report, which is expected to take at least three months.
