Expansion
SP President Akhilesh Yadav’s decision to go to Ghazipur to pay tribute to late mafia Mukhtar Ansari is not without reason. The strategy behind this is to further strengthen its Muslim vote bank. Earlier, SP had already measured the political temperature by sending former MP Dharmendra Yadav and MLC Balram Yadav to the grave of Mukhtar Ansari.
Mukhtar’s death before the elections is raising many questions from the Muslim community and they are not considering this death as natural. Mukhtar belonged to Pasmanda Muslim community. Therefore, SP strategists want to strengthen the support of this section by paying tribute to him. It is a matter of fact that on the day of Mukhtar’s death, SP President Akhilesh Yadav, without taking his name, had only demanded investigation into such incidents under the supervision of a Supreme Court judge.
Now Akhilesh Yadav will visit Mukhtar Ansari’s house in Ghazipur on April 7 and console his family. Let us tell you here that when he was the Chief Minister, Akhilesh Yadav had not allowed the merger of Ansari brothers’ Quami Ekta Dal with SP. He had then said that there is no place for mafia in his party. Not only this, his cabinet colleague Balram Yadav, who was in favor of the merger of Qaumi Ekta Dal, was also dismissed from the post of cabinet minister.
Omprakash Rajbhar has also told that he is the Messiah.
State government cabinet minister Omprakash Rajbhar has also described Mukhtar Ansari as the messiah of the poor. While talking to a private news channel, Rajbhar also said that I had said long ago that Mukhtar Ansari was a revolutionary leader and I still stand by that statement.
Owaisi also consoled the family members
It is the result of the sympathy of Muslims towards the family of mafia Mukhtar Ansari that AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also visited Mukhtar’s house in Ghazipur and consoled his family.
