LUCKNOW, Nov. 3 -- Bahujan Samaj Party national convenor Akash Anand on Monday attacked both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Samajwadi Party, accusing them of presiding over "jungle raj" in Uttar Pradesh. By contrast, the rule of law prevailed in Uttar Pradesh under the Mayawati government, he said. Anand, who was reinstated in the party recently after a series of entries and exits in the last two years, was addressing a public meeting in Nakur assembly constituency in Saharanpur district. Terming the Samajwadi Party as the "B team" of the BJP, he said the SP sent the son of a BJP-backed MP to the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh, overlooking the Muslim community. "The SP chief is confused about the PDA formula, sometimes he terms P as Pandit and at other times, as Pichda (OBC). Under the SP government, UP was in the grip of riots and a large number of people were displaced after the Muzaffarnagar riots," he said. He named Naresh Kumar Saini as the party candidate from Nakur for the 2027 UP assembly election. Describing the BJP regime as "encounter sarkar (government)," he claimed data indicated an increase in heinous crimes in Uttar Pradesh during the 10 years of the BJP government. Accusing the SP-Congress alliance of misleading people on Constitution and reservation issues during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he said the leaders of both parties failed to raise the issue of the weaker sections in Parliament....
