OP Rajbhar calls Akhilesh's remarks on Ankit Balyan murder 'trading in grief'

Senior BJP leader Om Prakash Rajbhar used his X account on August 31 to denounce Akhilesh Yadav’s comments on the Ankit Balyan killing. Rajbhar asserted that the murderers have reached the spot Yadav considered his stronghold, describing it as "hell." He said that invoking the victim’s name and the term “Jat” for political mileage is not an act of sympathy but a commercial exploitation of sorrow. Rajbhar warned that the public is watching Yadav’s caste‑centric narrative, especially as the state heads toward the next election.
