When Akhilesh Yadav got the chance, the Samajwadi Party president hit a four on the spot. In politics, the whole game is about time and opportunity. Akhilesh Yadav is having a good time since the Lok Sabha elections. On the other hand, the NDA camp also gave him a good opportunity. These days there is a ruckus in the NDA camp of UP regarding reservation. The matter is about reservation in government jobs for people of OBC and SC quota. BJP’s allies are accusing the Yogi government of ignoring reservation. Now Akhilesh Yadav has also jumped into this controversy.
After winning the Lok Sabha elections, Akhilesh Yadav’s spirits are sky high. He feels that the PDA formula can bring him back to power in UP. That is why he wants to maintain the impact of this hit formula. Anupriya Patel’s letter and then Sanjay Nishad’s statement have given him this issue. So he has come on the agenda against the Yogi government with full force.
Allegations of discrimination against PDA families
He said that ever since BJP has come to power in Delhi and UP, the PDA family is facing discrimination. Akhilesh Yadav said that the government is constantly playing with the reservation that the people of PDA, Bahujan Samaj, minority, backward or Dalit community got to live their lives due to reservation.
Coincidentally, whatever allegations Akhilesh Yadav has made, Anupriya Patel has written the same in her letter. In a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, she has accused the OBC and SC quota in jobs of being changed to the general category. She said that on the pretext of getting a qualified candidate, the jobs meant for backward and Dalits are given to the general category.
Anupriya Patel had accused of negligence
Anupriya Patel alleges that this is being done in the jobs that are given after the interview. The reply to her letter has also come from the UP government. In the government’s letter, each of Anupriya’s allegations have been rejected. Anupriya Patel is a Minister of State in the Modi government. She is the president of Apna Dal. Apna Dal has been in the NDA for the last eleven years. In the agreement with BJP, Apna Dal got two Lok Sabha seats. In this election, the party lost one seat.
In this Lok Sabha election, BJP has lost 29 seats in UP. It is being said that a large part of backward and Dalit voters shifted to All India Alliance. Apna Dal represents Kurmi voters in UP. This time Akhilesh Yadav has become the first choice of Kurmi voters. Now Apna Dal is trying to save its base vote.
Sanjay Nishad also broke his silence on reservation
Now this is the concern of Sanjay Nishad. He is the president of Nishad Party and a minister in Yogi government. He says that when Yogi ji was an MP, he used to say that Nishads should get reservation in SC quota. Now he is the Chief Minister but this issue is not even discussed. Sanjay Nishad wants that there should be reservation in contractual jobs as well. Samajwadi Party camp is delighted with the attack on BJP by NDA constituents regarding reservation. It is as if it has got its wish.
