In a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP), Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) leader OP Rajbhar on Wednesday said that the highest number of riots occurred in Uttar Pradesh under the SP's rule. OP Rajbhar was speaking at the India TV Samvaad.

He also predicted that the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party won't even get one seat in Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections and accused Yadav of depriving the minorities of their rights. "The Samajwadi Party has not given anything to Muslims apart from hatred," Rajbhar added.

"Akhilesh Yadav will not get votes by just shouting PDA," Rajbhar said. Praising the BJP government in UP, the SBSP leader said, "No riots took place in Uttar Pradesh under the Yogi Adityanath government. There was no curfew."

According to Rajbhar, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) received 14 per cent of Muslim votes in the previous elections; this time, they will receive 25 per cent of the vote. He further stated that since there is no longer a middleman, direct benefits are now reaching the accounts and everyone is benefiting from the Ayushman card.

Rajbhar alleged that Akhilesh Yadav is a master of betrayal. "We were duped by the SP chief, who also betrayed Mayawati twice. Additionally, he tricked Sanjay Nishad. He feels that he ought to be the sole leader going forward. It has been agreed upon for the last two years that Rajbhar will be appointed as a minister in the event of the expansion of the UP Cabinet," he said.
