UP Deputy CM Criticizes Opposition for Creating a Negative Atmosphere
Uttar Pradeshs Deputy CM accuses opposition parties of undermining constitutional institutions and misusing caste politics.
Lucknow, October 13 (Daily Kiran) : Uttar Pradesh‘s Deputy Chief Minister, Brajesh Pathak, has taken aim at opposition parties during a press conference in Lucknow, responding to recent protests in Delhi and remarks made by Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. Pathak accused the opposition of questioning constitutional institutions and engaging in caste-based politics.
He urged these parties to evaluate their standing among the public, reflecting on the governance they provided while in power. In reaction to Yadav’s statements, Pathak challenged parties that seek votes based on caste and those accused of appeasing the Muslim community to account for their tenure. He questioned whether these parties had implemented a system like “one district, one mafia” during their four terms in office.
Pathak highlighted the need for opposition parties to explain their actions and policies during their time in governance. His comments are perceived as a political attack against the Samajwadi Party and other opposition factions.
Regarding the ongoing protests in Delhi, the Deputy Chief Minister expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of such demonstrations in strengthening the opposition’s position among the electorate. He accused these parties of consistently undermining constitutional institutions.
Pathak pointed out that when opposition governments are formed in states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab, they do not question the role of the Election Commission. He suggested that the opposition raises these issues out of fear of being rejected by the public. These remarks form part of Pathak’s broader political commentary.
In Gonda, BJP MLA Paltoo Ram addressed the political representation of the Muslim community. He claimed that since independence, parties like Congress and the Samajwadi Party have exploited the community, leading some members to feel marginalized.
Responding to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s assertion of leadership for the Muslim community, Paltoo Ram stated that every individual desires representation for their community and that there is nothing wrong with Owaisi’s demands.
