Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav on Monday reacted sharply over Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s visit to Uttar Pradesh to attend the Yadav Mahakumbh. Mr. Yadav added that attacking his family is an ‘old tactic’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He added that the saffron party intends to create division but reiterated that the backward classes, Dalits, and minorities are solidly behind the SP.

“The BJP is a very smart party, this trick [Yadav Mahakumbh] is an old trick for division. It [the BJP] keeps adopting such methods. When the SP is busy expanding its PDA [picchda, Dalit and alpsankhyak] family, the BJP is adopting ways of how to weaken this fight and how to divert attention,” Mr. Yadav said, talking to reporters in Lucknow. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav participated in a Yadav Mahakumbh on March 3 in Lucknow, and had on the occasion said that the Yadav community freed itself from the contractual system of vote bank politics practiced by one particular family.
