As political parties sharpen their attacks ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, AIMIM spokesperson Shadab Chauhan has launched a fresh salvo at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, accusing him of arrogance and likening him to Duryodhan from the Mahabharata.
Chauhan recently voiced his displeasure over what he described as the lack of seriousness shown towards AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's offer of an alliance in Uttar Pradesh. He shared a detailed post on social media platform X.
In the post, Chauhan wrote, "In Mahabharata, Pandavas had asked for 5 villages from Kauravas but Duryodhan refused due to blind ambition and ego. After that, a war was fought in Kurukshetra for 18 days and 5 Pandavas were victorious and 100 Kauravas were defeated and destroyed, the main reason for whose destruction was Duryodhan's ego. Similarly, today we are demanding our political share with respect in proportion to our population, but Akhilesh Yadav is refusing out of ego and is playing the role of today's Duryodhan, so remember that the same fate will befall you because you do not have the courage to defeat BJP alone."
Chauhan further wrote, "That is why our leader, the protector of the Constitution, Owaisi sahab, showed a big heart and said that our doors are open to defeat the BJP by preventing the division of secular votes, but now there will be talk of equality, there will be talk of share. We trusted you for 34 years but there was no development in our areas, no educational institutions were opened, no respect and security was provided, no health services were improved, no reservation was provided and no justice was done to 20% of the population."
So far, the Samajwadi Party has not responded to Chauhan's remarks.
Recently, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi visited Uttar Pradesh, where he offered an alliance for the upcoming Assembly elections.
