New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar took a dig at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday, over latter’s closed-door meeting with Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)’s Ashutosh Ranka.
“Heard that you are trying to light a lamp in Abhijit Nakshatra. ‘Cockroaches’ have started showing up at your doorstep, and that too, with their mouths tied shut,” Rajbhar said in a taunting post on X.
Rajbhar’s swipe at the SP supremo came after reports emerged that Akhilesh and CJP’s Ashutosh Ranka had a secret meeting in Lucknow, behind closed doors.
Taking to X, the UP minister wrote, “What’s up, Akhilesh Yadav ji, heard you’re trying to light a lamp in Abhijit Nakshatra. Meanwhile, ‘cockroaches’ have started showing up at your doorstep, and that too, with their mouths tied shut. TV shows that the ‘red’ spray is meant to wipe out cockroaches, but here the ‘red’ folks themselves are begging for help from cockroaches.”
“Tell me, man. Don’t you even trust your own right-wing loaders that much, who are now taking the side of these ‘cockroaches’? Your father and uncle worked so hard! Pedaling the cycle from village to village to run the Samajwadi Party, just to see this day? That the son would sit in AC and rely on cockroaches to form a government,” he stated.
Rajbhar further said, “Now it’s clear that you’re also one of those who does politics riding on the strength of street-smart cockroaches. You’re from the silver spoon crowd, and playing the power game on the might of foreign forces and endless money is your old habit.”
“Your Saifai syndicate kids study abroad, roam around London-Paris, but here’s the plea: don’t throw the Yadav and poor weaver-backward Muslim youths from your villages and hinterlands into such a fire that it ruins their future and that of their families. Jai Bharat, Jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Parashuram, Jai Maharaja Suhaldev,” he added.
However, the Samajwadi Party refuted the allegations, saying that the CJP leaders had met Yadav only to express their gratitude.
Speaking to IANS, Samajwadi Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand said, “The leaders and spokespersons of the CJP had come to meet Akhilesh Yadav only to express their gratitude. The way the protest was held at Jantar Mantar and the way the youth protested across the country, the Samajwadi Party supported the demands of the youth from the streets to the Assembly and raised their voice in the House. Akhilesh Yadav ji also stood with the protesters from the streets to the House and continued to support and help them.”
Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput, reacting to the meet said, “Such meetings keep taking place, and there is nothing illegal about meeting. If meetings are held with leaders of the CJP, it is an even better thing.”
