Akhilesh unable to tolerate growing stature of backward class leaders: UP DyCM Maurya

  • | Saturday | 23rd July, 2022

Lucknow, Jul 23 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Saturday accused the Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav of not being able to "tolerate" any leader from the backward caste whose stature is growing.In a tweet in Hindi, Maurya said, "SP president Akhilesh Yadav jee, you are not able to tolerate the growing stature of any leaders of the backward class. You want that there should be no bigger OBC leader, and you are anti-backward. Did you make any OBC leader a deputy chief minister when you were the chief minister? The backwards have reposed their faith in (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi." However, Keshav Prasad Maurya did not name any OBC leader in his tweet.Maurya"s comment assumes significance as it came minutes after tweets by the Samajwadi Party"s letters to its ally and SBSP chief Om Prakash Rajbhar and his uncle and PSPL chief Shivpal Yadav that they "can go where he will get more respect".Rajbhar had supported NDA presidential nominee Droupadi Murmu, breaking ranks with the opposition for the July 18 election that brought to the fore cracks in the anti-BJP grouping.The opposition Samajwadi Party had fought the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly polls together with Jayant Chaudhary"s RLD, Rajbhar"s SBSP, Apna Dal (Kamerawadi), Keshav Dev Maurya"s Mahan Dal and the Janwadi Party.The Mahan Dal and the Janwadi Party have already severed ties with the SP. Apart from the SBSP, Shivpal Yadav"s Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party-Lohia also appeared to be inching closer to the ruling BJP over the past few months. PTI NAV CK
