Samajwadi Party’s Swami Prasad Maurya continues to make provocative comments on sensitive issues, drawing criticism from saffron parties and upper caste leaders. Despite directives from SP leadership to refrain from making comments on any religion, Maurya persists in making controversial statements. The party’s stance of distancing itself from Maurya’s comments is seen as a strategic move to position itself as more focused on OBCs, Dalits, and Minorities. Observers believe Maurya’s statements aim to disrupt upper castes rather than the Hindu religion itself, focusing on caste system and the treatment of women, tribals, and Dalits.
