Akhilesh’s PDA pitch under BJP fire after ‘sparse’ turnout at Kannauj event
Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party faced criticism from the BJP following a 'sparse' turnout at a PDA conference in Kannauj, his constituency. The BJP questioned the SP's claims of expanding its support among non-Yadav OBCs and Dalits, as images of empty chairs circulated. This controversy arises as the SP aims to consolidate its PDA coalition ahead of the 2027 UP elections.
