Akhilesh Yadav की PDA यात्रा से खुश होगी BJP, Congress की बढ़ी टेंशन, Rahul Gandhi का अगला कदम क्या?

Lallantop UP | In this episode of UP Bulletin, we look at two major developments from Uttar Pradesh — the deadly Yamuna Expressway bus fire and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA Rath Yatra from Rae Bareli. Nine passengers were killed after a private sleeper bus travelling from Delhi to Mahoba caught fire near Jewar on the Yamuna Expressway on September 23. A police complaint alleged that passengers had warned the driver and conductor about a burning smell, but the bus was not stopped. The incident has once again raised questions about passenger safety, vehicle fitness, regulatory checks and the functioning of the transport system. Reports have also highlighted multiple registrations, certificates and traffic violations linked to the bus. The second major story is Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA Rath Yatra, which began from Rae Bareli on September 24, ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The choice of Rae Bareli, a traditional Congress stronghold and the Lok Sabha constituency represented by Rahul Gandhi, has drawn political attention. Akhilesh’s programme included a roadshow, a visit to SP MLA Rahul Lodhi’s residence and prayers at the Pipleshwar Churuwa Hanuman temple. The episode examines the political messaging around the PDA campaign, the ongoing SP-Congress seat-sharing discussions and reactions from BJP leaders. We also look at why Rae Bareli has become an important political backdrop as parties prepare for the 2027 UP elections. Produced by: Shubham Kumar Edited by: Dinesh
