Rajbhar hits out at Akhilesh over SP general secretary's ministerial ambition

Lucknow, Sep 22 (UNI) Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president and Uttar Pradesh Panchayati Raj Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar on Tuesday took a swipe at Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav over remarks made by the party's national general secretary Indrajit Saroj about becoming a minister if the SP forms the government in the state in 2027.
In a post on X, Rajbhar referred to Saroj's remarks that "no one will be able to stop him from becoming a minister if the SP forms the government in 2027". Saroj made the statement while addressing a booth-level SP workers' conference in the Sirathu Assembly constituency on September 17.
Saroj also said that he has stood by the party during its difficult times and would therefore become one of the most important ministers if the SP forms the government.
