Maurya said BJP OBC Morcha had discussed its organisational role and strategy for the 2027 assembly elections at a meeting, including ways to strengthen the party at the grassroots and take the benefits of central and state govt welfare schemes to the last person.
Addressing a news conference at BJP state headquarters, party OBC Morcha national president and Rajya Sabha MP Amar Pal Maurya said SP claimed to champion social justice and political representation but repeatedly favoured members of the Yadav family when it came to distributing positions of power. He said he would send the letter to Akhilesh by email and share it on social media, demanding a public response to the questions raised in it. Family rule cannot continue in the name of social justice,” Maurya said. Maurya said political empowerment should be based on wider social representation rather than inheritance, urging Akhilesh to examine his party’s record and address the questions raised in the letter. Claiming that BJP stood for ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’, Maurya said the party’s objective was to bring all sections of society into the mainstream of development and ensure that eligible beneficiaries received the benefits of welfare schemes.
Maurya read out an open letter addressed to Akhilesh, questioning the SP chief’s alleged preference for relatives over party workers and other leaders from the Yadav community. Listing members of the SP chief’s extended family who have held political and organisational positions, Maurya referred to Akhilesh’s father and former chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, who served as chief minister, and Akhilesh himself, who became an MP before taking over as chief minister. “Akhilesh ji, how long will this arrangement continue, in which power goes to your family while party workers are left to struggle?
