Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday accused the Yogi Adityanath government in UP of being “anti-Brahmin”, inviting sharp reactions from Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who alleged that the former CM was spreading the poison of caste-based divisions in society. During a meeting with a delegation of the Brahmin community at his party office in Lucknow, Yadav said: “Those in power don’t like ’tilak’ (indicating Brahmins). They consider the community a political threat and carry out repressive actions against them.” Referring to the Brahmin community, the former chief minister said, “You are an integral part of the PDA (Backward, Dalit and Minority) alliance. When you write your name in short as ‘Pd’ (pundit), you’re already in PDA. We stand with every oppressed and insulted person.” He said the present government is unjust and suppresses anyone who dares to oppose it, irrespective of caste. “This regime doesn’t care about caste — it acts against whoever stands against it,” he said.

Jhansi Medical College Fire Updates: Brajesh Pathak met with grieving families at the hospital.
