As the Uttar Pradesh elections draw closer, the level of verbal war between politicians is steadily declining. Political accusations and counter-accusations have now escalated to outright personal attacks and derogatory remarks, with politicians’ language clearly crossing all limits of decency. This time, the new political controversy began with a highly offensive statement by senior Samajwadi Party leader and former minister Dayaram Prajapati. He directly compared Subhaspa chief and Uttar Pradesh government minister Om Prakash Rajbhar to a “donkey without a tail.” Following this sharp and indecent attack, OP Rajbhar, without missing a beat, launched a scathing retort, openly admonishing Dayaram Prajapati to “keep getting kicked” while remaining in the Samajwadi Party. Furthermore, during this entire turmoil, Rajbhar also leveled several serious political allegations against SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and the late Mulayam Singh Yadav.
OP Rajbhar has been adopting a consistently aggressive stance against Akhilesh Yadav.
Subhasp chief Om Prakash Rajbhar has been adopting a relentless offensive against the Samajwadi Party and its national president Akhilesh Yadav for some time now. He has consistently targeted the Samajwadi Party, sometimes through press conferences and sometimes through social media platforms. Through his statements, Rajbhar is constantly trying to convey the message that the Samajwadi Party exclusively caters to the Yadav community, while the rest of the state’s non-Yadav backward classes and Dalits have been consistently neglected. Rajbhar has also made serious allegations on several public platforms that whenever the Samajwadi Party was in power in Uttar Pradesh, non-Yadav OBC and Dalit community leaders never received due respect. While Akhilesh Yadav himself has not directly responded to these sharp attacks, former minister Dayaram Prajapati has taken the lead on his behalf.
“Even a donkey has intelligence, but this one doesn’t…” Dayaram Prajapati’s controversial statement
Samajwadi Party veteran and former minister Dayaram Prajapati launched a scathing attack on Om Prakash Rajbhar, openly stating, “Om Prakash Rajbhar is a tailless donkey. He doesn’t even know what to say to whom on which platform. He practices politics like a businessman. When he was with us, he made compromises, and now, wherever he goes, he’s made compromises. He first gets tickets in elections and then later sells them after negotiating them; this is his real business. Even a common donkey has some intelligence, but this tailless donkey has none.” This sharp and controversial statement by Dayaram Prajapati caused a huge sensation in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh and sparked a debate on social media.
OP Rajbhar’s strong counterattack, targeting Akhilesh and Mulayam Singh Yadav
Om Prakash Rajbhar also reacted sharply to Dayaram Prajapati’s derogatory statement. He said, “Akhilesh himself kicked this man and sent him to jail. Just a few days ago, Samajwadi Party members entered his home and assaulted his wife, yet this man hasn’t even come to his senses. Just enter his home and keep getting kicked and silently watch the spectacle.” Rajbhar didn’t stop there, but made a serious allegation, alleging that Akhilesh Yadav, and before him Mulayam Singh Yadav, have always given special training to their party leaders to use such derogatory language. He claimed that in the past, many SP leaders have made highly controversial statements against various castes, and that this has been the Samajwadi Party’s long-standing political style.
Referring to Rajkumar Bhati’s statement heated up the political atmosphere
Continuing his argument, Om Prakash Rajbhar also openly mentioned the past controversial statements of SP leader Rajkumar Bhati in his statement. He said, “You must have seen earlier how Rajkumar Bhati made derogatory remarks about the Brahmin community. Furthermore, he has been repeatedly instigating derogatory statements against Thakurs and the Rajbhar community itself. These people deliberately get their leaders to speak against different castes, and now they have developed a bad habit of engaging in this kind of appeasement and hate politics.” Following Rajbhar’s sharp remarks, the political temperature in Uttar Pradesh has risen to the skies.
Who is Dayaram Prajapati, the person who lashed out at the Subhaspa chief?
Dayaram Prajapati is known as a prominent and powerful figure in Uttar Pradesh politics, belonging to the Kumhar (or Prajapati) community. He is considered one of the most senior leaders of the Samajwadi Party and has been deeply involved with the party for a long time. Dayaram has also served as a member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council (MLC). Furthermore, he held the important responsibility of a ministerial position in the state government during Akhilesh Yadav’s tenure as Chief Minister. He is known for his outspoken and forthright views on political issues. Within the party, he is also considered one of the most influential leaders from the backward classes. Perhaps this is a major reason why, when OP Rajbhar was constantly attacking the Samajwadi Party, Dayaram Prajapati shouldered the responsibility of delivering a befitting reply on behalf of the party.
