BSP chief Mayawati on Friday criticised the Samajwadi Party, alleging that it follows dynastic politics and gives preference to wealthy industrialists despite seeking support from backward, Dalit and minority communities.
In a post on X, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the SP asks voters to support it under its PDA — Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak — formulation, but allegedly gives positions such as MP and MLA tickets largely to members of the Yadav family and affluent industrialists.
Mayawati referred to the SP’s decision to renominate senior leader Ram Gopal Yadav, who is the uncle of party president Akhilesh Yadav, and to nominate Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani, a Reliance Industries executive, for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
