A day earlier, Maurya had created flutters in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh by refusing to comment on Adityanath’s “batenge toh katenge” slogan, saying questions about it should be directed to the chief minister.On Sunday, sharpened his attacks at the main opposition Samajwadi Party over its PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) pitch.”We have to respond to the fake “PDA” abuses spread by the Samajwadi Party and its chief Akhilesh Yadav in the same way Lord Krishna replied to Shishupal. In 2024, the Cycle (SP’s poll symbol) has to be punctured by making the lotus bloom so that the polls deposits of SP candidates are forfeited.” “The Samajwadi Party has to be turned into a ‘samaaptvaadi’ party by deepening the wounds of the crushing defeats it faced in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2022 (elections),” he said in a post in Hindi on X.Bypolls to nine assembly seats — Katehari in Ambedkar Nagar, Karhal in Mainpuri, Meerapur in Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad, Majhawan in Mirzapur, Sisamau in Kanpur City, Khair in Aligarh, Phulpur in Prayagraj and Kundarki in Moradabad — will be held on November 20.Eight of these seats fell vacant after their MLAs were elected as Lok Sabha MPs, while the bypoll on the Sisamau seat has been necessitated due to the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who was convicted in a criminal case.The Congress is not contesting the bypolls and is supporting its INDIA bloc partner Samajwadi Party.
