In Lucknow, MLC Dr. Lalji Prasad Nirmal made serious allegations against SP President Akhilesh Yadav. Said- Akhilesh’s rule was a symbol of insult to Dalits, corruption and nepotism. Yogi government did real cleaning of monuments including JPNIC.
Roaring in the political atmosphere of Lucknow today, Dr. Lalji Prasad Nirmal described the entire reign of Akhilesh Yadav as an example of insult to Dalits, corruption and nepotism. Former Chairman, Uttar Pradesh Scheduled Caste Finance and Development Corporation and Legislative Council member Nirmal said that at the time when the country was taking forward the name of Honorable Kanshi Ram with respect, at the same time Akhilesh Yadav tried to erase his name from government institutions and schemes.
Allegations of injury to Dalit honor
Dr. Nirmal alleged that the name of Urdu-Arabic-Persian University of Lucknow, which was earlier in the name of Kanshiram ji, was removed, and the schemes running in his name were also changed. He said that this step was a direct attack on the self-respect of the Dalit community. Referring to Mayawati’s rally, he said that it has revealed the real face of Samajwadi Party – a party which is anti-Dalit and has a disrespectful attitude towards great men.

JPNIC: Symbol of corruption
During the Akhilesh government, he described Jaiprakash Narayan International Center (JPNIC) as a den of commission fraud. The project started with ₹200 crore, but by 2017 the cost had reached ₹867 crore and still remained incomplete. Yogi Adityanath government handed it over to LDA and resolved to complete it with transparency. Now auditorium, multilevel parking, sports complex and convention center are being built here, which will be opened to the public as a learning center.
Insult of Baba Saheb and Dalit oppression
Dr. Nirmal accused both Congress and SP of delaying in giving due respect to Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and hurting Dalit reservation. According to him, during the SP rule (2012–2017), the condition of Dr. Ambedkar Memorial was worse, lights were off, stones were broken, brass plaques were missing. On the contrary, the Yogi government conserved and beautified all the monuments.Dr. Nirmal said that BJP is the only party which is pursuing Dalit empowerment as true social justice, and away from nepotism.
SP’s fate like Congress in 2027
He claimed that now the Dalit community of Uttar Pradesh is aware and will not be misled by alliances like SP-Congress. In 2027, the public will marginalize the Samajwadi Party like the Congress.
Aseem Arun’s taunt on five star ‘socialism’
Social Welfare Minister in Yogi government, Asim Arun, called Akhilesh Yadav’s five star JPNIC project not poor welfare but fun for the rich. He said that it had helipad, swimming pool and five star rooms, which is contrary to the simplicity and ideas of Jayaprakash Narayan ji. The cost of the project increased from ₹200 crore to ₹867 crore, yet it was not completed. Now CAG has also raised objection on this. Asim Arun said that BJP is doing real socialism by providing benefits to lakhs of poor through schemes like rural development, housing and food, whereas the Akhilesh government had considered its “socialism” as the definition of luxury.
