Minister: SP chief hurt Dalits duringhis tenure as CM | Lucknow News
Lucknow: Social welfare minister Asim Arun launched a scathing attack on SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, accusing him of removing Kanshi Ram’s name from districts, medical colleges, and institutions.Citing examples such as Lucknow’s Language University and Saharanpur’s Super Specialty Hospital, Arun claimed Akhilesh demeaned these issues when they were raised and questioned why he now invokes the names of Baba Saheb and Kanshi Ram after years of disrespect. On the death anniversary of Kanshi Ram, Arun paid tribute and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath are continuing his legacy of social justice. He acknowledged Mayawati’s appreciation for their efforts in maintaining memorials and promoting welfare programmes. Arun alleged that Akhilesh is trying to gain political advantage as Scheduled Caste communities have distanced themselves from him and emphasised that the public sees through his duplicity. He asserted that BJP workers consistently serve all sections of society, particularly Scheduled Castes, and that Akhilesh’s political tricks will fail, as the party remains focused on real issues and social welfare.
