Lucknow. Before the Dalit conference of Samajwadi Party in Agra, allegations and counter-allegations have intensified in the politics of the state. National President of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party and Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar targeted SP President Akhilesh Yadav by posting on social media platform X. He said that before making new announcements from the platform of Dalit Conference in Agra, Akhilesh Yadav should answer on old matters related to the honor of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Honorable Kanshi Ram.
Addressing Akhilesh Yadav in his post, Rajbhar said that if he is talking about the interests of Dalits in the PDA conference, then he should also clarify his stand on the issues related to the alleged insult of Bahujan great men. Referring to the statement given by SP MP Ramjilal Suman regarding Rana Sanga, he asked Akhilesh to demand an apology from the Hindu society.
Issue of changing names of districts raised
Rajbhar raised questions on the decisions of changing the names of districts during the tenure of the SP government. He said that the name of Bhim Nagar was changed to Sambhal, Ramabai Nagar to Kanpur Dehat and Kanshiram Nagar to Kasganj. He also raised the issue of closing the schemes run in the name of Bahujan great men and changing the names of hospitals, universities and educational institutions.
Referring to Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Green Park of Lucknow and Ambedkar Medical College of Kannauj, he said that Akhilesh Yadav should also answer on these decisions in the conference in Agra.
Mentioned about Panwari incident and Etawah incident
Rajbhar targeted the SP regime citing the Panwari incident of Agra. He alleged that during that time a procession of Jatav community was attacked. The dispute over the groom taking out a marriage procession sitting on a mare took the form of caste violence, in which nine people lost their lives. Referring to an incident in Etawah, he also sought answers from SP regarding the alleged atrocities against Dalits.
Questions raised on Azam Khan's comment also
Rajbhar also raised the issue of alleged objectionable remarks made by Azam Khan about Baba Saheb. He said that this comment was made in the presence of Akhilesh Yadav during the inauguration ceremony of Ala Hazrat Haj House in Ghaziabad, but he did not oppose it.
He also questioned Shivpal Yadav's statement in which he had talked about making Azam Khan the Home Minister. Rajbhar asked whether giving such an important post to a person who made controversial remarks about Baba Saheb is a part of politics.
In the end, Rajbhar took a dig at the SP conference to be held in Agra and said that the public will understand the difference between the old tenure of SP and the current announcements. He demanded Akhilesh Yadav to clarify his stand on the questions related to Dalits and Bahujan great men.
