    Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Thursday said the protest by Samajwadi Party MLAs during the governor’s address in the Assembly was condemnable, asserting that party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s remarks in the House were nothing but a “bundle of lies”.

    Pathak said he had hoped that Yadav would apologise for the “hooliganism” of his party legislators during his speech in the House.

    We heard the Leader of Opposition for long and we were thinking that he would apologise after seeing the hooliganism of the Samajwadis at the time of the governor’s address, he said.

    Pathak said he condemns the way the SP members created a ruckus during the address in the House.

    He said whatever the SP chief said on the governor’s address is a “bundle of lies” and there is no truth in it.

    Yadav on Thursday termed Governor Anandiben Patel’s address in the House as “cut and paste speech” and alleged that the schemes mentioned have not been implemented on the ground.

    The budget session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature began on a stormy note on Monday with the governor reading out the address amid sloganeering by the opposition.

    Pathak, participating on a discussion on the governor’s address, praised senior SP member Shivpal Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav, though.

    He said the leader of the opposition was a gentleman but some people around him mislead him.

    The deputy chief minister listed the achievements of the BJP government, while pointing out the shortcomings of the previous SP dispensation.

    He also talked about the recent Global Investors Summit and its success to attract investors.

  • ‘Guidance for us’: UP DyCM Maurya on RSS chief’s remark on caste system

    ‘Guidance for us’: UP DyCM Maurya on RSS chief’s remark on caste system

    New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, a prominent OBC face of the BJP in the state, on Monday said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s comment on the caste system in Hindu society is a “guidance for us”.

    Addressing an event in Mumbai on Sunday, Bhagwat has said everyone is equal in the eyes of God and no caste or sect exists before him.

    All these things were created by priests which is wrong, he had said.

    “I am a Swayamsevak (volunteer) of the RSS and when our revered Sarsanghchalak (RSS chief) says something, we consider it a ‘margdarshan’ (guidance) for us,” Maurya told PTI in the Parliament House Complex when asked about Bhagwat’s remarks.

    He, however, refused to make any further comment. “It will be inappropriate for me to make any comment on the remarks of the revered Sarsanghchalak.”

    Opposition leaders, however, targeted the RSS and the ruling BJP, saying Bhagwat’s statement should reflect in the action and work culture of his outfit and that of BJP governments.

    “Mohan Bhagwat’s statement is just a statement. One can relish it when it reflects in your actions and work culture. It’s not seen in your work culture. (Centre is) sitting on the caste census,” RJD’s Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha told PTI when asked for a reaction to the RSS chief’s comment.

    He asked Bhagwat to enforce a culture that could end “caste atrocities and inequality” in the country.

    “In the sea of inequality, you have made five islands of prosperity. One of the islands is Hindenburg, which is exposing the government a bit. End that,” the RJD leader said, apparently demanding that the RSS chief ensure that action is taken against allegations of financial fraud against the Adani Group.

    The business giant has rejected all allegations made by the US-based short seller.

    Reacting to Bhagwat’s remark, Congress MP Digvijay Singh sought to know from the RSS chief which of the Hindu scriptures are “lying” about the existence of cast system.

    “He has said the scriptures are lying. We want to ask Mohan Bhagwat which of the scriptures are lying,” the Congress leader told PTI when asked for his reaction on the RSS chief’s remark.

    BJP MP from Rajasthan’s Alwar Balak Nath termed Bhagwat’s remark “truth” and alleged it is the Congress which divides people on the lines of caste for political gains.

    “He (Bhagwat) has talked about Sanatan. There is no mention of any caste system in Sanatan. People brought in the caste system based on their work,” he told PTI when asked for his comment.

    Bhagwat’s reflections on Sanatan dharma and the caste system is “absolutely correct”, he said.

    “It’s the Congress which has been pitting people against each other on the lines of castes, creating division in the society, for power politics, taking cue from the Mughals and the British. The BJP has united India,” he added.
