Targets BJP, Vows to Plant PDA Roots in Odisha
Nuapada, Yadu News Nation: In his maiden visit to Nuapada for electioneering, Samajwadi Party national president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav unleashed a blistering critique of the BJP government. Speaking at a public rally held on the local police ground on Sunday, he urged voters to support the party’s candidate, Ramakant Hati.
Opening with “Jai Jagannath”, Mr Yadav said the hallowed land of Nuapada had pulled him here. He highlighted the persistent neglect of Adivasis, Dalits, minorities, and backward communities across all sectors. “We are here to deliver social justice and to sow the seeds of PDA in Odisha,” he asserted.
Taking a swipe at the BJP, Akhilesh accused the party of first hijacking vote and now poaching candidates. He lambasted both the state and central BJP administrations for their abject failure on education, healthcare, agriculture, and numerous other fronts. Later, he fielded questions from reporters at a press conference.
Sharing the stage were state president Shiba Hati Yadav, Odisha in-charge Sunil Singh Yadav, state vice-president and ex-MLA Debendra Kanhar, national secretary Tanveer Ahmed, Madhya Pradesh president Manoj Yadav, Chhattisgarh youth wing president Mantos Yadav, by-election candidate Ramakanta Hati, district president Digpal Nag, state secretary Benudhar Gahir, farmers’ wing president Bijay Behera, minority wing president Mohammed Sahabuddin, women’s wing president Pushpanjali Das, and several other leaders.
State media cell president Pradeep Mishra anchored the proceedings. Assisting in the event’s organisation were state secretary Sunil Kumar Dhangdamajhi, youth wing president Premraj Thapa, district general secretary Gangadhar Banchhor, OBC cell president Sufal Karuan, Dalit wing president Budharu Bibhar, Kalahandi district president Jagadish Yadav, Bolangir district president Jayadev Jal, youth leader Santosh Bag, Ram Bachha, and office-bearers and workers from every district.
