UP By-election, CM Yogi Redefining PDA: These days, there is a flood of new slogans and poster war in the 9 assembly by-elections of Uttar Pradesh. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is strongly attacking the opposition’s PDA formula with new slogans. First, if you divide, you will be cut, then the issue of reservation in AMU and now the new definition of PDA is making SP, Congress as well as BSP uncomfortable. Actually, the Chief Minister is trying to unite the backward and Dalits against the Muslims. This is the reason why Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is constantly attacking the opposition’s strongest bet.

On Sunday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed three public meetings in Katehari, Phulpur and Majhawan, during which he also gave a new definition of PDA. He said that PDA means ‘Production House of Rioters and Criminals’.
The Chief Minister said that the CEO of this production house of SP is Akhilesh Yadav and the trainer is Shivpal Yadav. He said that there is no mafia in UP who has not been a disciple of the Samajwadi Party. Be it Atiq Ahmed of Prayagraj, Mukhtar Ansari of Ghazipur or Khan Mubarak of Ambedkar Nagar. All of them have been the products of the production house of SP.
Uniting backward and Dalits
Actually, in the Lok Sabha elections, Samajwadi Party became the third largest party of the country by winning 37 seats of UP with the help of PDA. Whereas BJP lost 29 seats in the elections. Now Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is busy in mobilizing the backward and Dalits of this PDA of Akhilesh Yadav against the minorities i.e. Muslims.
This is the reason that when he talks about criminals and calls it SP’s ‘production house of rioters and criminals’, he also mentions the Raju Pal murder case. His message is clear that Raju Pal i.e. a Dalit MLA was murdered by Atiq Ahmed.
Yogi Adityanath Targets Akhilesh’s PDA as Anti-Backward, Raises AMU Reservation Controversy to Corner Opposition
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is busy calling Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA pro- Muslim
and anti-Dalit and backward classes. As a part of the entire strategy, the Chief Minister is bringing something new in every round.
On reaching Aligarh, he raised the issue of reservation in AMU and said that backward classes and Dalits are not being given reservation in the university run by government taxes. Here Muslims are getting 50 percent reservation which is against the constitution.
This is such a situation, which is making not only SP and Congress, but also BSP uncomfortable. Because the opposition is still looking for a solution to this move of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Any kind of statement against this will be seen as an attack on Hindutva.
