Deputy Minister Brajesh Pathak.
Uttar Pradesh will hold by-elections to nine assembly seats on Wednesday. The state’s opposition Socialist Party attacked the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, alleging irregularities in the by-election. Former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav alleged electoral irregularities and named a number of officials. The Election Commission also took action against some policemen who did not follow rules while voting in the state.
Reacting to the Samajwadi Party’s allegations, deputy minister Brajesh Pathak hit back at the SP at a press conference. He said the SP had not stopped its mafia activities. SP thugs threaten public during polling. Seeing defeat, these people are now trying to save face.
Dalit girl killed in attack
Brajesh Pathak attacked the SP over the death of a Dalit girl in Khar and said she was murdered because she did not vote for the SP. These people want to gain votes by threatening the public and are trying to tear up the Constitution. Deputy Minister claims Dalit daughter was murdered for asking her to vote for BJP.
He said a man named Prashant Yadav took the girl away. His body has since been discovered. These people just shout “PDA-PDA” and have nothing to do with a backward society. The Dalit community across the state should take cognizance of the SP’s misdeeds.
Hooliganism in SP rule
Pathak said that once the Samajwadi Party government comes to power, mobs will dominate the state. Whenever they come to power, they encourage criminals. The public saw the SP’s rule and knew that no one would listen to them at that time. Pathak accused the Socialist Party of conducting fake voting in the election, saying the socialists tried to vote in burqas.
SP keeps threatening key officials
When Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took down the names of the officers, Pathak said he was threatening the officers, who he said were beaten during the Samajwadi Party’s rule. Lohia Vahini’s goons hung the CO in a car and forced him to enter the SP office in Lucknow. He accused the Samajwadi Party of having family feud and said the Samajwadi Party was the party of the Yadav family and a tribe. This is just a party that engages in family politics.
