Pathak Accuses Samajwadi Party of Brahmin Vote-Bank Outreach

Pathak Accuses Samajwadi Party of Brahmin Vote-Bank Outreach
'Eyeing vote bank': UP Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak on SP’s Brahmin outreach · thehansindia.com

A leader named Brajesh Pathak is a very important person in a state called Uttar Pradesh.

He is unhappy with a political party called the Samajwadi Party.

That party recently held a big event to remember a leader from the past named Janeshwar Mishra.

Mishra was an important part of the party and belonged to a community called the Brahmin community.

Pathak thinks the party organized this event only because state elections will happen next year.

He says the party wants people from the Brahmin community to vote for them.

He thinks the party does not really care about the community and only remembers it during elections.

He also said the event was full of accusations and personal attacks instead of honoring Mishra's good ideas.

Pathak believes the party has forgotten the good values of its old leaders like Dr Ram Manohar Lohia.

This is a disagreement between political groups about why a party is being nice to a community.
