Akhilesh Yadav does not allow anyone from backward classes to be leaders: OP Rabhar

SBSP chief and Uttar Pradesh’s Panchayati Raj Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar on Friday hit out at Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, accusing him of “betraying” leaders from the backward classes, Dalits and minorities.

Rajbhar, whose party is part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, said Yadav’s allies are quitting the opposition alliance as he does not want leaders from the backward communities to rise.

“Akhilesh ji does not want to take anyone along. He does not want to allow any person from backward class, Dalit community or minority community to become a leader,” the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief said while speaking to reporters at his party’s office in Rasra here.
