Lucknow, June 29

Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief and Uttar Pradesh Panchayatiraj minister Om Prakash Rajbhar continued his attack on Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav claiming that his dream to come to power in the state will never be fulfilled.

Rajbhar alleged that the Bahujan Samaj will be torchured by the so called PDA, if SP comes to power in UP.

Rajbhar and Akhilesh Yadav are attacking each other on social media and it is likely to escalate further as the assembly elections dates come near. Rajbhar was with Akhilesh Yadav in the 2022 assembly polls but later he switched over to NDA before 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

In a fresh long social media post on Monday, Rajbhar wrote," Listen, 'Raja Babu' aka Akhilesh Yadav ji!. I know that one section of your supporters is oiling their sticks, while the other is sharpening their knives and swords.

We know that for the past 10 years, you have been harboring a grudge against us.
You're just dreaming of changing the government so that somehow 'Raja Babu', that is, your government, can be formed and your goons, hooligans, and mafia, wearing red caps, can take over police stations."

He said," after coming to power, your people will launch the PDA ,when Ahir will beat', 'Minority will beat' and 'Ahir will kill', 'Minority will kill' campaigns across the state."

" We know that your softest targets will be Bahujan castes like Pal, Prajapati, Bind, Kewat, Mallah, Rajbhar, Nishad, Manjhi, Darji, Teli, Loniya, Fakir, and Banjara. You will beat us, incite riots, allow SP Muslims to loot our homes, then set them on fire, and do evil to our sisters and daughters".

He further added," We also know that your supporters have been eyeing our homes and lands like vultures for the last ten years.They are daily inquiring about the prices of our homes and farms in order to seize them. This is what your supporters are saying, just give us one more chance. Then we will tell you."

"So listen, Akhilesh ji!. We, the people of Bahujan castes, will never give you the opportunity to have our homes looted, our lands seized, or our loved ones murdered.You lost in 17, lost in 22, and now you'll wipe out the SP in 27. Write it down," he claimed.

However Akhilesh Yadav has not yet replied to Rajbhar's statement.

There may be a political alliance between BSP, Congress and SP once again. However, the three parties have not yet opened any cards regarding this. But it is being said that within the next eight days there can be a major political upheaval regarding the alliance in Uttar Pradesh. There is also talk in the political circles that Priyanka Gandhi and Mayawati have had a telephonic conversation about contesting the Lok Sabha elections together. This conversation has been started on the initiative of Sonia Gandhi. There is also a discussion going on that Congress may also try to project Mayawati as the face of the Prime Minister. However, it is being said that if everything goes as planned, then soon SP, BSP and Congress will once again enter the fray together in Uttar Pradesh.

Not only in Uttar Pradesh but in the political circles of the country, there is discussion whether Mayawati will join the INDIA alliance in Uttar Pradesh or not. If sources are to be believed, Congress is still trying to ensure that Mayawati remains with them in this alliance. However, neither Mayawati nor Congress has shared any official information on this. But according to sources, three rounds of important talks have taken place between the leaders of Congress and BSP to include I.N.D.I in the alliance. Political experts say that there is mutual harmony between Priyanka Gandhi and Mayawati. For this reason, there was a discussion between Priyanka Gandhi and Mayawati in September last year regarding the politics of Uttar Pradesh. If sources are to be believed, Priyanka and Mayawati had a telephonic conversation during this Lok Sabha election also.

It is being told that during this conversation, Mayawati is being persuaded to contest the elections with the alliance. Sources say that to a large extent the talks are going on in a positive manner. Seat sharing was also discussed in the talks with important leaders of Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party. According to sources, Sonia Gandhi is most in favor of an alliance with Mayawati. It was on his initiative that Priyanka Gandhi took this conversation forward. Experts say that Congress wants to put forward a Dalit face as the Prime Minister. In this, one name of Mallikarjun Kharge and the other name of Mayawati is being put forward. However, efforts are still underway to take the other constituent parties of the alliance into confidence in this matter. Sources associated with Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party say that Mayawati can contest elections on 25 seats under the alliance.

According to sources associated with the alliance, if everything goes as per plan, then within the next eight days a big update regarding the I.N.D.I alliance may come out in Uttar Pradesh. It is being said that Bahujan Samaj Party can join the alliance as soon as the election notification is issued. However, a senior leader associated with Bahujan Samaj Party says that until any decision is officially taken by Mayawati, it is difficult to say anything in this regard.

According to political experts, due to the talks of making Bahujan Samaj Party a part of the I.N.D.I alliance, the remaining seats of the Samajwadi Party are also not being declared. Samajwadi Party has not declared any seat after February 20. In such a situation, speculations are being made that Mayawati is going to enter the alliance. Political analyst Narendra Kushwaha says that from the political point of view, the alliance of SP, BSP and Congress can be important in Uttar Pradesh. He believes that if it happens that BSP comes in alliance and contests elections, then the political fight in Uttar Pradesh can be interesting. Kushwaha says that Congress also knows very well that if Bahujan Samaj Party comes with them, then the vote share of Muslims and Dalits can go to the alliance.

BSP supremo Mayawati had initially made her political debut by saying that she would not have an alliance with anyone in this Lok Sabha election. But the way the alliance has been made with BRS in Haryana and then in Telangana, it is being speculated that it is possible that Mayawati may enter into an alliance with Congress in Uttar Pradesh to enter the electoral fray. Political expert Narendra Kushwaha says that Bahujan Samaj Party has an idea of how and under what circumstances the party had shown its performance in the 2014 and 2019 elections. This is the reason why Mayawati is keeping the way for alliance open to win seats in the elections. Kushwaha says that the alliance with BRS in Haryana and Telangana is a testimony to the fact that the possibilities of BSP's alliance with other parties still remain.
