In the heated corridors of Lucknow’s UP Assembly, Minister Sanjay Nishad turned the tables on Samajwadi Party’s disruptive tactics during the budget session. After SP MLAs created pandemonium and grabbed documents, the Nishad Party chief and cabinet minister didn’t hold back.
‘Betrayal came from kin, not foes; doom struck in shallow waters,’ Nishad recited, setting the tone for his blistering critique. Speaking to media, he laid bare the SP’s governance sins: three decades of power marred by rampant corruption, as per the damning Sachar findings.
Their PDA slogan? ‘Pure deception,’ Nishad charged. ‘Pichhda-Dalit-Alpsankhyak means suffering, grief, and shame for the vulnerable. They silence our truths.’ He spotlighted the neglect of Nishad fishermen: zero investments despite central allocations, all pocketed through coercion.
Lives lost haunt the narrative – Nishad leaders murdered under SP watch, yet no justice. ‘Probe Azam Khan’s missing buffalo, but ignore our slain heroes?’ he demanded. Quoting reports, he decried skewed quotas favoring milk and leather workers while ‘other men’ vanish, branding SP as predatory.
Nishad reaffirmed his SC status per official records, slamming the dubious OBC reclassification. He called out sly politics in film naming to stir controversies for publicity, advocating strict laws. On Madani’s alarming statement, Nishad lamented Muslim plight under ‘fake leaders,’ stressing unity as fellow Indians. Finally, he urged the Swami to prioritize dharma over electoral fray.
This confrontation signals escalating rivalries, with Nishad emerging as a vocal champion against perceived injustices, reshaping alliances in Uttar Pradesh’s dynamic political arena.
