Lucknow,

Nov 10 (HS): Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak stated on

Tuesday that the Samajwadi Party's ambitions would never be realized, accusing

the party of breeding criminals during its tenure and now invoking Ayodhya for

political benefit. Pathak stated that the BJP administration guaranteed that

action was done against the mafia and branded the SP as a party that nourished

goons and the mafia, causing the state to erupt in riots. Pathak's statements

follow SP president Akhilesh Yadav's commitment to make Ayodhya a global epicentre

of Sanatan pilgrimage if his party comes to power ahead of his December visit.

“Dreams

of the Samajwadi Party will never be realized. Those who gave UP 'One District,

One Mafia', those who provided sanctuary to goons and mafia under the SP

government, used to cast evil eyes on women; today, they chant 'Ram Ram'. Our

government has assured that action is done against the mafia in Uttar Pradesh.

The Samajwadi Party has started using the term Ayodhya Dham. These are the same

folks who disliked the titles Ayodhya Dham and Lord Ram. The dreams of the

Samajwadi Party will never become a reality,” he claimed. Pathak said that they

are the party that nurtured goons and mafias and sparked disturbances in the

state.

Pathak

also responded to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's reported assertion that 1.27

crore Hindu voters are missing from Uttar Pradesh's election records following

Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Pathak stated repeatedly that SIR is the

topic of the Election Commission of India. It is their obligation to travel to

each household and collect voter registration information. If there is any

laxity, steps should be taken. This comes as Uttar Pradesh's political activity

ramps up ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with the BJP and the Samajwadi

Party (SP) preparing for a vital electoral struggle.
