Akhilesh’s jibe turns political, from tycoons to Sonia’s new book
CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies:
In Uttar Pradesh politics, the war of words between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak appears to be intensifying. Amid Pathak’s attacks over Ayodhya and Sanatan Dharma, Akhilesh hit back in his own style. In the same political exchange, Sonia Gandhi’s new book and old business links have also entered the discussion.
A political video commentary in the Mahanagar column prominently featured Akhilesh’s jibe in which he allegedly referred to tycoons who had been taken away. The same video also presented, in a satirical tone, the reference to reading Sonia Gandhi’s book and to a person reading a book while wearing undergarments. However, the available details do not make the full context of this episode or the identity of the person concerned clear.
Political counterattack on Pathak’s statement
Brajesh Pathak had raised questions over Akhilesh Yadav’s possible Ayodhya visit and the Samajwadi Party’s changed stance on religious issues. He accused the SP of changing its position according to political circumstances. He also targeted the Congress over Sonia Gandhi’s book.
In this entire sequence, Ayodhya, Sanatan Dharma, Sonia Gandhi’s book and political rhetoric have all become subjects of discussion together. Ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, this phase of allegations and counter-allegations between the BJP and the SP is continuing to heat up the political atmosphere.
