MP polls: Congress opposed caste census, Mandal Commission report, BJP taking same path, says Akhilesh

IndiaTimes Sunday, 5 November 2023
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused both the Congress and the BJP of only talking about caste census and reservations to woo the "PDA" segment, which includes backwards, Dalits, and Adivasis. He criticized the Congress for stopping the caste census and refusing to implement the Mandal Commission report in the past, and claimed that the BJP was now taking a similar path. Yadav expressed his party's support for a caste census, 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes, and a better scheme for women than the MP government's Ladli Behna Scheme.

Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Fatehpur Sikri Braces for Fierce Electoral Battle | Oneindia News [Video]

Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Fatehpur Sikri Braces for Fierce Electoral Battle | Oneindia News

Home to the revered shrine of Sufi saint Salim Chishti and the imposing red sandstone fortress built by Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal era. In the upcoming elections, the Fatehpur Sikri seat finds itself delicately poised, with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party setting their sights on clinching victory. The Congress, contesting 17 seats in Uttar Pradesh as part of its alliance with the Samajwadi Party under the INDIA bloc, has fielded Ramnath Sikarwar, popularly known as 'Fauji Baba,' to take on the BJP's sitting MP, Rajkumar Chahar. Chahar, who had secured a resounding victory in 2019 by defeating Raj Babbar, the then-state Congress president, with a margin of five lakh votes, faces twin challenges this time around. Not only is he grappling with internal party conflicts over his candidature, but he also finds himself confronted with significant anti-incumbency sentiment. Pankaj Mishra, Imran Shah and Rajender Bhandari visited Fatehpur Sikri report. #LokSabhaPolls2024 #LokSabhaPolls #FatehpurSikriLokSabhaPoll #CongressVsBJP ~HT.99~PR.100~PR.282~CA.144~
