On Thursday (7th March), YouTuber Shyam Meera Singh shared a post on his X handle to peddle casteist division over the conviction of criminal politician Dhananjay Singh. The special MP/MLA court in UP’s Jaunpur sentenced former Jaunpur MP Dhananjay Singh to a seven-year jail term. Shyam Meera Singh said in his post that the top leadership pair is systematically finishing Rajut leadership in various states.
Shyam Meera Singh wrote in his post, “Rajnath was eliminated by this criminal duo. Vasundhara Raje is put to rest. Manish Sisodia was put in jail. Sanjay Singh was put in jail. Dhananjay Singh was also put in jail so that he would not contest the elections. Which other Rajput leader is still left to be finished?”
By writing ‘criminal duo’, he essentially implied towards Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. However, he was called out for this casteist approach in the comments on his post. Baba Ka Bhakt wrote, “It is the old family business of Congress and its puppets like you to spread the poison of the caste differences in the society. After all, you get alms from all of them.” A photo of Shyam Meera Singh with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was also attached in this reply. Shyam Meera Singh had participated in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Advocate Puneet Shukla wrote in his reply to Shyam Meera Singh, “Today he has forgotten the poem ‘Kuaan Thakur Ka’. Since when did you become a friend of Rajputs? As soon as something fits into the agenda, he immediately starts setting fire. Even that fact-checker would not be a bootlicker of your calibre, or maybe both of you are the same.”
Another X user Jabar Singh wrote, “Since when did you start sympathizing with Rajputs?”
Jyoti Yadav wrote, “The way of setting fights amongst each other is a bit casual. This Mithelal is extreme here too and crying. Doesn’t even trust the constitutional law.”
Another X user Prajapat wrote, “Did you forget Yogi Ji? You always recognise him as a Thakur. Won’t you do so today? He is next PM of India, what else do they need?”
Mohit Sharma wrote, “Stop it. For how long will you provoke people by mentioning castes? our boss Rahul also does the same.”
Anil Tiwari wrote, “The matter was something else, where are you guys taking the topic? Not Vague, find real things.”
Khemchand Saraswat wrote, “Only the frog thinks that this well is the ocean. This so-called journalist thinks that there are only these four Rajputs in the whole of India and Dhananjay Singh, who has been named in forty cases, is the leader of the Rajputs. Even the punishment of a criminal seems to be a crime to these lazy journalists. And he is fighting to save the Constitution.”
Notably, on Wednesday (6th March), the special MP/MLA court in UP’s Jaunpur sentenced former Jaunpur MP Dhananjay Singh to a seven-year jail term. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 75 thousand for the extortion and kidnapping of the project manager of Namami Gange Yojana, Abhinav Singhal.
