Akhilesh’s silence on Swami Prasad Maurya’s controversial statement on Ramcharit Manas is saying a lot

The controversy over Ramcharitmanas in Bihar has now reached Uttar Pradesh. All Hindu organizations have broken down on the leaders who made objectionable statements against Ramcharitmanas. In this, the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party are at the forefront. But the question is also arising that on the one hand Swami Prasad Maurya is calling Ramcharit Manas controversial and anti-Dalit, while his daughter and Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sangh Priya Maurya is still keeping silence in this matter. By the way, this is not the first time when Sanghpriya Maurya has not opened his mouth on his father’s controversial statement. Before this, even during the assembly elections, Swamy had called BJP and Modi-Yogi a lot of abuse. At that time, after being a minister in the Yogi government for four years, Swamy joined the SP before the last election, while his daughter is still in the BJP. On the other hand, the BSP has also not reacted to Swamy’s statement. Congress is definitely criticizing Swamy’s statement, but his words are also very measured.

Well, after the controversial remarks of Swami Prasad Maurya regarding Ramcharit Manas, it was expected that the SP would show the way out to this bigoted leader, but it did not happen. Samajwadi Party wants to instigate fire like Mandal-Kamandal with the help of Maurya’s controversial statement. At that time, leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav had hatched a lot of conspiracy to divide Hindus into backward and forward and themselves became the lambardars of the backward. However, it is definitely being said that Akhilesh Yadav is angry with the controversial statement of his leader Swami Prasad Maurya, but so far no such step has been taken from his side which can seal his displeasure.

In fact, instead of clarifying its position on Swamy’s statement, the Samajwadi Party is engaged in assessing the political profit and loss due to it. Let us tell you that Samajwadi Party’s Legislative Council member and former cabinet minister Swami Prasad Maurya has demanded a ban on some parts of Ramcharitmanas composed by Tulsidas, saying that they discriminate against a large section of the society on the basis of caste, caste and class. There is insult. After this, BJP and Congress are simultaneously attacking the SP.

Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam has termed the statement of SP MLC as poor. The Congress leader said, ‘Ban should be imposed on leaders making such cheap and ridiculous statements, who consider it their bravery to “insult” the religious sentiments of Hindus everyday. While on behalf of BJP, State President Bhupendra Chaudhary said that SP President Akhilesh Yadav, Shivpal Yadav, Dimple Yadav and Ramgopal Yadav should answer on this matter. He said that now Swami Prasad Maurya is trying to become a big leader in SP but no one is listening to him. He said that the SP will have to decide whether the statement of Swami Prasad Maurya is the official statement of the party or not.
