Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP MP for Remarks on Former CEC

Akhilesh Yadav criticized BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for his derogatory remarks on former CEC S Y Quraishi. Yadav emphasized that Dubey's comments undermine a respected constitutional authority. He also targeted BJP for alleged electoral malpractices in various elections, urging party leaders to reflect on their conduct.

Akhilesh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party, has voiced strong disapproval towards BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for recent comments directed at former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi. Yadav argued that Dubey's statements demean a former respected constitutional officer and called for more decorum in public discourse.

Yadav took to social media, suggesting that Dubey, who has faced criticism within his own party for previous controversial remarks, should avoid creating unnecessary controversy over a retired public servant. This follows Dubey's contentious claim that Quraishi, during his tenure, acted to favor a specific community.

Additionally, Yadav accused the BJP of engaging in various electoral malpractices, citing cases of alleged manipulation and intimidation in states such as Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. He further claimed that internal party conflicts and corruption could lead to the BJP's downfall.
