Akhilesh Yadav Ayodhya visit

Overview

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav visited Ayodhya on October 8 to attend a Shrimad Bhagwat Katha religious program organized by Tej Narayan Pandey. While initial reports focused on the omission of a Ram Mandir visit from his official itinerary, Yadav described the gathering of devotees at the event as a reflection of the “beauty of society and culture.”

Following the visit, Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar criticized Yadav, accusing him of engaging in “vote-bank politics” motivated by electoral interests rather than religious devotion. Rajbhar questioned Yadav’s faith, suggesting the leader should declare himself an atheist if he does not believe in Lord Ram. Additionally, Rajbhar referenced historical tensions, citing the firing on kar sevaks during the tenure of Yadav’s father, former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
