Dhirendra Shashrti की कथा पर Akhilesh Yadav-Raja Bhaiya की सीधी भिड़ंत, BJP की चुप्पी, बदलेगा माहौल?

In this episode of UP Bulletin, we look at the growing political face-off between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Kunda MLA Raja Bhaiya over Bageshwar Dham's Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. After Shastri's controversial remarks comparing Lord Ram and Lord Krishna triggered criticism, Akhilesh Yadav openly opposed him and called for restrictions on his entry into Uttar Pradesh. He also urged the administration to deny permission for Shastri's programmes, describing his remarks as harmful to social harmony. However, Raja Bhaiya responded in his own way. His party, Jansatta Dal Loktantrik, officially announced a Ram Katha by Dhirendra Krishna Shastri in Kunda, Pratapgarh, from November 17 to 20, 2026. The event is scheduled to take place at the airstrip of Raja Bhaiya's Benti Raj Bhavan. The announcement has added a new dimension to the long-standing political equation between Akhilesh Yadav and Raja Bhaiya. Despite Akhilesh's repeated appeals to organisers and the administration, the programme remains unchanged. Meanwhile, social media has witnessed a wave of posts challenging Akhilesh to stop the event. Is this merely a religious controversy, or is it turning into a bigger political battle ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections? We also examine Akhilesh Yadav's latest attacks on the BJP, his questions over SIR and the Election Commission, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's remarks on government recruitment.
