BJP Minister Hits Back: Opposition's PDA is Fake, Fueled by Family Bias

Uttar Pradesh politics erupts anew with Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh's pointed critique of opposition parties, dismissing their PDA formula as a facade masking deep-seated dynastic favoritism amid the Women's Reservation Bill controversy. Reacting to Akhilesh Yadav's presser slamming BJP, Singh focused on the opposition's bill opposition. 'Their resistance screams they fear women in power,' he stated firmly. 'SP, Congress—plagued by family rule, they block progress while cheering the bill's delay, betraying women's honor.' Praising PM Modi's pledge, Singh vowed the empowerment push continues. He flipped SP's 'sanrakshan pehle' line, evoking SP-era horrors: absent justice, women's plight normalized, criminals' impunity from jail to DGP, violent abductions of police in broad daylight at party premises. 'Daughters' outings sparked parental dread.' 'Now, Yogi ensures safety; late-night scooter rides for women are routine, fearless,' Singh contrasted. 'SP sheltered chaos agents—they couldn't fathom this order.' Mocking PDA's evolving tags—Pichhda-Dalit-Alpsankhyak, then women or youth—Singh challenged: 'SP bars outsiders from top roles. No national chief or CM ambitions beyond family. Be honest: next SP government’s leader—PDA or kin? They derailed women's quotas preaching upliftment.' Singh's address amplifies BJP's achievements in security and inclusion, casting doubt on rivals' motives as electoral dynamics intensify in the state.
