BJP MP Criticizes Samajwadi Party's 'PDA' as a Mask for Criminal Activities

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi accused the Samajwadi Party's 'PDA' slogan of being a facade for promoting dynasts, dictators, and criminals. He highlighted recent crimes against women to argue that the SP has a track record of supporting criminal elements. He also criticized Congress leaders for their silence on these issues.

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi targeted the Samajwadi Party's 'PDA' strategy, alleging it is a cover-up for promoting dynasts, dictators, and criminals. Trivedi criticized India block leaders in the wake of rising crimes against women, notably in Uttar Pradesh.

The term 'PDA,' coined by SP president Akhilesh Yadav, stands for 'pichhda,' Dalit, and 'alpsankhyak,' aiming to consolidate backward classes, Dalits, and minority votes. However, Trivedi claims it conceals the party's true nature of 'parivarwadi,' 'dabang,' and 'apradhi'.

Trivedi cited incidents such as the alleged gang rape in Ayodhya and a rape bid in Kolkata to underline his point, blaming a 'particular mindset' that fosters criminal behavior and impunity. He also criticized Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi for their silence on these issues.
