Overview

  • Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government of fostering caste-based discrimination, citing alleged dominance of Kshatriya officers in key police postings while PDA (Backward, Dalit, Minority) communities are underrepresented.
  • The Uttar Pradesh DGP refuted these claims as 'baseless and misleading,' prompting Yadav to demand a detailed, name-wise list of SHOs from the Chief Minister for transparency.
  • Yadav alleged that Uttar Pradesh leads the country in atrocities against Dalits, including daily vandalism of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s statues, as a symbol of systemic disrespect.
  • He criticized the BJP for tokenism, claiming marginalized communities are given symbolic roles without real power, and accused the party of perpetuating a feudal and hegemonic ideology.
  • The SP leader also condemned the new Waqf Act, inflation, unemployment, and alleged land grabs as evidence of BJP's policy failures and diversion tactics ahead of elections.
