Accuses BJP-RSS of Weakening the Constitution, Promoting Manusmriti Ideology
Lucknow/Ayodhya: In a significant political outreach ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, Samajwadi Party leader and Gosainganj Assembly candidate Chaudhary Loutanram Nishad addressed the PDA Jan Panchayat organized at Ghuri Tikar village under the Gosainganj constituency. The event, hosted by Narsingh Yadav and convened by former village head Rajdev Yadav, drew large participation from party workers and community representatives.
Calling upon Samajwadi Party workers to unite wholeheartedly under Mission 2027, Nishad described SP chief Akhilesh Yadav as a “true champion of farmers, laborers, backward classes, minorities, and Dalits.”
“Today, the BJP-RSS combine is working to blunt Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Constitution and replace it with the tenets of Manusmriti,” he alleged. “While the Constitution upholds equality, justice, and fraternity beyond caste or creed, Manusmriti promotes hierarchy, discrimination, and inequality. We must safeguard Babasaheb’s vision.”
Nishad accused the BJP of being anti-Mandal Commission and anti-backward class, stating that the party’s policies “favor industrialists while leaving farmers, laborers, and marginalized communities in distress.” He emphasized that the Samajwadi Party’s focus remains on inclusive growth and empowerment of all sections of society.
“In 2027, the SP will form a full majority government in Uttar Pradesh. The struggle is not for power, but for dignity and justice,” he said.
Speaking at another PDA Jan Panchayat at Bankatha Chauraha-Rajpaliya in Mayabazar block, under the chairmanship of Block President Bindeshwari Prasad Yadav, Nishad warned workers to remain alert to “the BJP-RSS conspiracy of dividing people along caste and religious lines.”
“Their politics thrives on pitting Hindu against Muslim, Yadav against non-Yadav, and Dalit against backward communities,” he said, urging unity among the PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) alliance.
Nishad also criticized the Yogi Adityanath government for “diluting or discontinuing the welfare schemes launched by the previous Samajwadi government.”
He pointed out that the SP government had declared April 5 as a public holiday in honor of Nishad Raj and Rishi Kashyap Jayanti, which the BJP government revoked. “Even the fishing rights and sand-mining leases once granted to the Nishad and Kashyap communities have been snatched away and handed to mafia elements,” he alleged.
He further accused a BJP minister, Sanjay Nishad, of “auctioning rivers” and betraying the very community he claims to represent. Recalling Phoolan Devi’s rise under the SP regime, Nishad said, “It was Netaji (Mulayam Singh Yadav) who brought Phoolan Devi from humiliation to respect, sending her to Parliament as the voice of the oppressed. The BJP, however, conspired against her.”
Assuring that a future SP government would restore all welfare programs, Nishad said, “Schemes for students, farmers, widows, the elderly, and the differently abled will be revived. Outsourcing and contractual employment will be replaced with permanent recruitment. Traditional rights of the Nishad fishing community will be reinstated.”
The event saw participation from several local leaders including Vijay Bahadur Verma, Maya Ram Yadav, Arvind Nishad, Shoaib Khan, Pankaj Yadav (Adv.), Mahadev Yadav, Chandra Shekhar Yadav, Phool Prasad Nishad, and Dhani Ram Verma among others.
The Jan Panchayat was conducted by State Secretary of the SP Backward Cell, Jagannath Pal, and concluded with a vote of thanks by Rajkumar Nishad and youth leader Arjun Nishad.
