Agra: Controversial posters against Akhilesh Yadav removed by SP workers
The Story in Brief
Hours before the Samajwadi Party's Dalit Maha Sammelan in Agra on Sunday, 15 November 2026, controversial posters targeting party chief Akhilesh Yadav and senior leader Azam Khan were put up at several locations. The posters, which mentioned old statements by the two leaders, triggered anger among SP workers who rushed to the spots and tore them down. A video of workers climbing poles to remove the posters has gone viral on social media.
The posters were put up near the GIC Maidan in Pachkuian, the venue of the Dalit convention, which is being held to strengthen the party's PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alp-Sankhyak) equation ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. SP workers, including Rinku Yadav, Vipin Aashu and Raghavendra Thakur, removed the posters. Who put up the posters and their motive has not been confirmed. All eyes are now on Akhilesh Yadav's address at the convention.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Amar Ujala and Bhaskar report the same sequence of events, offering uniform coverage. Amar Ujala leads with the anger of SP workers and the viral video, while Bhaskar adds the specific names of workers who removed the posters and notes the PDA strategy behind the Dalit Sammelan. Neither outlet speculates on who put up the posters or assigns blame. The only gap is the identity of the poster creators, which both sources say is unconfirmed. The key figure to watch is Akhilesh Yadav's speech at the 15 November convention, where the party's stance on Dalit politics and 2027 election strategy is expected to be outlined.
