Om Prakash Rajbhar responds to caste-based remarks by SP leader

Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar has issued a sharp rebuttal to Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Om Prakash Singh following controversial remarks regarding Rajbhar's birth and caste background.

Addressing Singh on social media, Rajbhar stated that the comments against his lineage stem from the fact that he was born into the poor and marginalized Rajbhar community rather than a wealthy or upper-caste family. He expressed pride in his community and emphasized his commitment to advocating for the rights of backward classes, Dalits, and the oppressed.

Rajbhar further criticized the Samajwadi Party, suggesting that their actions and rhetoric regarding religious figures indicate a lack of faith. He concluded by stating that while he does not expect an apology from Singh, the public is observing these political maneuvers and will deliver the ultimate verdict at the polls.
