Akhilesh Yadav accuses BJP of denying OBC reservation in UP
Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, said that the BJP is not giving enough jobs to OBCs in Uttar Pradesh.
He said that the BJP is taking away jobs that should be reserved for OBCs and giving them to other people.
He gave examples like the Lekhpal recruitment where fewer OBC jobs were reserved than they should be.
He also said that the BJP is not doing anything to fix this problem and is only trying to hide it.
He wants the BJP to stop taking away these jobs and give them to the people they are meant for.
Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP of denying OBC reservation in UP recruitments.
He claimed the BJP is rejecting one-third of the 27% reservation for OBCs.
Yadav cited the Lekhpal recruitment as an example, where only 1,441 posts were reserved for OBCs instead of 2,158.
He alleged that the BJP has been looting PDA (Picchda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) community posts over the last five years.
Yadav also mentioned irregularities in recruitments for assistant teachers, Banda Agriculture University, and Lakhimpur Cooperative Bank.
