Lucknow, Aug 7 (HS): Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister

Brijesh Pathak, targeting SP President Akhilesh Yadav, said that he remembers

Janeshwar Mishra for Brahmin votes and only his family to rule. Give the

Brahmins your votes, give him the throne and he will rule by placing his

family's sandals on it. It would have been better if Janeshwar Mishra's birth

anniversary had been used to make people aware of his personality and his socialist

ideology. Instead of talking about Janeshwar, I was cursed more. Brahmins who

gave the light of knowledge to the world were insulted like beggars. Seeing all

this drama, Janeshwar's socialist soul would surely be saddened and thinking

that it was my birth anniversary to do all this.

Brijesh Pathak said that it is not right to insult the

entire Brahmin community today because of a few ticket-seekers. Abuse me as

much as you like, but do not lower the dignity of the Brahmin community. He

said that this is a Samajwadi Party (SP) that has completely deviated from the

path, ideals, and values of socialism shown by the revolutionary thinker Ram

Manohar Lohia, the instigator of the Ramayana Mela, and younger Lohia Janeshwar

Mishra. Dr. Lohia wanted to make Parliament and Legislative Assemblies a

platform for meaningful debates, and Atal ji fully supported him. Despite his

nomadic nature, Lohia devoted his entire time to debates and parliamentary

dialogues during Parliamentary sessions. Younger Lohia Janeshwar furthered this

tradition. He always led contemporary movements, but prioritized discussions

during Parliamentary sessions and never disrupted them.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that today's SP members in

Delhi and Lucknow don't even want to allow the public's questions to be raised

in the session. They create so much ruckus and argue that it becomes difficult

to run the House. The opposition, while adept at posing for photos with the

Constitution in hand, is even more adept at mocking the Constitutional Court

and traditions. I advise my SP colleagues to occasionally read about Lohia and

Chhote Lohia. The drama that unfolded on Janeshwar's birth anniversary will

surely sadden the soul of Janeshwar Mishra. Atal ji used to say that the true

tribute to great men is to carry forward the traditions established by them.

Socialism, social justice, and harmony are unseen in the new SP even when

searched for with a microscope. The unnecessary, unprincipled, chaotic uproar

during the monsoon sessions of Parliament and the Uttar Pradesh Legislative

Assembly demonstrates that the SP has completely abandoned the culture of

socialist dialogue and has transformed itself into a gang of hooligans. The

Deputy Chief Minister said that Brahmins are like saliva for their vote bank.

They will drool for him until the elections, and then they will ask,

Which Brahmin? Whose Brahmin? Where's the Brahmin?
