Akhilesh Yadav

Akhilesh Yadav's attempt to bring Pandits under the SP's PDA umbrella marks a sharp political pivot, raising questions over whether it reflects a genuine ideological shift or a calculated bid to expand the party's Hindu vote base ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Everyone witnessed the era of Mulayam Singh Yadav, when he defended rapists by saying, "They're boys, boys make mistakes."

SP intended to capitalise on the caste issue, given that the accused is from the Brahmin community.

Akhilesh charged, "I believe they have substantial financial resources, as they are also allocating funds for movie releases."

The Samajwadi Party and the Yadav family are notorious for their consistent anti-Hindu positions and statements.

As Israel and the US struck Iran, Congress, AIMIM and Samajwadi Party leaders questioned PM Modi’s visit. India’s foreign policy, however, balances ties with Israel, Iran and the Gulf while prioritising security and stability.

The Purvanchal Expressway remains one of the flagship infrastructure projects in the state. With more expressways under construction and new ones in the pipeline, the debate over development models is likely to remain at the centre of Uttar Pradesh’s political narrative.
