Lucknow,

21 April (HS): Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, has strongly

condemned BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s recent remarks on former Chief Election

Commissioner SY Quraishi. Yadav said that Dubey’s words denigrated a former

respected constitutional official and advocated for greater decorum in public

discourse. Yadav turned to social media to warn that Dubey, who has received

criticism within his own party for prior inflammatory statements, should avoid

causing unneeded issue over the retiring public official. This comes after Dubey’s disputed accusation

that throughout his tenure, Quraishi behaved in favor of a certain community. Yadav

also accused the BJP of indulging in numerous election malpractices, citing

instances of suspected manipulation and intimidation in areas including as

Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. He

further said that internal party disagreements and corruption might lead to the

BJP’s destruction.
