Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 19 (ANI): Launching a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak accused the opposition party of consistently sidelining the Dalit community while disproportionately favouring the Muslim community.
In a post on X, Pathak alleged that the SP’s foundational politics have always prioritised divisive strategies over inclusive development.
“Akhilesh Yadav ji, you are very angry about the question of DNA. What did I say? That there is a problem in the DNA of the Samajwadi Party–you lost your temper just like you did when your party lost power in UP ten years ago. A problem in DNA means that the foundation of your party has always been rooted in casteism and appeasement–and it still is. The Samajwadi Party has never believed in ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,'” Pathak said.
He further accused the SP of pursuing policies aimed at Muslim appeasement, claiming that during Akhilesh Yadav’s tenure as Chief Minister, the government withdrew 14 cases related to terrorism to appease a specific community. Pathak also alleged that the Dalit community was sidelined and subjected to injustice under SP rule.
“Akhilesh ji, when we say that there is something wrong with the DNA of the Samajwadi Party, we simply mean that this party believes in dividing society for political gain. It practices politics based on caste, religion, and class,” Pathak remarked.
His comments came in response to a ‘derogatory’ post made by the Samajwadi Party’s media cell on X, which questioned the ‘DNA’ of the BJP leader. The post has since been deleted.

“We are deleting the tweet, but before you use this DNA language in the future, please remember that when you throw a stone at glass, the shards can bounce back at you,” the Samajwadi Party media cell posted on X.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has filed an FIR against the SP media cell for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak on the party’s official X account.
The complaint was filed by the BJP’s Lucknow unit on Saturday. Anand Dwivedi, District BJP Chief, lodged the FIR at the Hazratganj Police Station under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the IT Act. (ANI)
