The Story in Brief
Bahujan Samaj Party national coordinator Akash Anand on Monday said the Samajwadi Party fears the BSP the most. Addressing a party workers' conference in Hathras, he accused SP members of constantly shouting 'PDA' to distract from the BSP's work for Dalit uplift. Mayawati, he added, always cautions people against the SP's narrow casteist politics.
Anand also attacked the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government, alleging over Rs 7,000 crore spent on advertisements in a decade to hide failures in employment, education and law and order. He claimed more than four lakh government posts are vacant and many competitive exam papers have leaked.
The Indian Opinion
This is standard pre-poll jousting in Uttar Pradesh, but the claims about vacant posts and ad spend deserve scrutiny. BSP is trying to reclaim its Dalit base from the SP's PDA plank, yet its own electoral decline since 2014 raises questions about credibility. Watch for the next round of bypolls: if BSP wins even one seat, the charge will carry more weight.
