Overview

  • Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the attack on MP Ramji Lal Suman's Agra residence was carried out by a state-sponsored group he called 'Yogi Sena,' not the Karni Sena as previously reported.
  • The Samajwadi Party leader claimed the Uttar Pradesh government funded the attack to intimidate backward castes, Dalits, and minorities while projecting Rajput support for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
  • Yadav described the attack as part of a deliberate conspiracy involving armed protesters who threatened violence and aimed to suppress dissent.
  • He criticized the lack of police action, stating that no FIRs were registered against those who issued threats and brandished weapons during the incident.
  • The allegations come as caste-based tensions rise in Uttar Pradesh politics, with Yadav vowing to continue advocating for social justice and uniting marginalized communities.
