Samajwadi Party (SP) on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) criticised the Uttar Pradesh Government over the resignation of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Rinku Singh Rahi, alleging that ‘efficient officials have no importance in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’. The only ones who are respected are those who steal money or those who charge a five percent entry fee even for investments, the party said.
“Efficient officials have no importance in the BJP government. The only ones who are respected are those who steal money or those who charge an five percent entry fee even for investments. We urge every good officer not to make any decisions under the influence of emotions; the bad days are about to end. The PDA government will come and give everyone due respect and dignity, as the PDA government will be a people’s government, truly work for development to solve problems and eliminate inequalities. Quality work and timely completion always require excellent officers. We have always valued and will continue to value officers who are skilled in their work. Whether it’s an aggrieved officer or an employee, everyone is united with the PDA to oust the BJP. The “suffering” is increasing, and so is the PDA,” Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav said in a post on X.
