The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Wednesday faced the ire of both ruling and Opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh after a video allegedly showing party spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati making derogatory remarks against the Brahmin community during a recent event went viral.
State BJP president and Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary termed the comments “indecent and vulgar”. “This is not just the statement of one person but also testimony to the ‘DNA’ of the SP and its corrupt mentality of ‘divide and rule’,” he said.
Mr. Chaudhary alleged that while the SP has been trying to “fragment the social unity of U.P. for decades, the BJP works to respect all castes”. “We will never allow the plans of these disruptive forces to divide society to succeed.”
‘Real character of SP’
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said “the real character and disgusting thinking of the SP has once again been exposed”.
