Politics surrounding the Deputy Speaker post in the Lok Sabha has intensified. Awadhesh Prasad, Samajwadi Party MP from Faizabad, is being discussed as a potential candidate for the position. However, UP government minister and Subhaspa chief Om Prakash Rajbhar has made a significant statement on this issue, questioning the opposition's strategy. He taunted Akhilesh Yadav, saying that while Akhilesh Yadav may be happy, when the 'Charkha' move is played, they will be completely defeated.
Rajbhar's statement comes at a time when there are reports of consensus among opposition parties regarding making Awadhesh Prasad the Deputy Speaker. However, there has been no formal announcement from the central government on this yet. OP Rajbhar's statement is being seen as a dig at the hopes of the opposition camp.
Political Questions Arise Regarding Brijesh Singh
Along with his statement regarding Awadhesh Prasad, Rajbhar has also come into the spotlight regarding the Mau seat by-election. In fact, Subhaspa MLA Afzal Ansari's membership from Mau has ended, and it is believed that Subhaspa may give a ticket to Brijesh Singh in the by-election for this vacant seat.
When Om Prakash Rajbhar was asked in this regard whether he considers Brijesh Singh a mafia, he said in clear terms that until the court convicts someone, we cannot call anyone a criminal. The court is supreme, and we see it from that perspective.
If Name is in Voter List, Then He is a Voter
Rajbhar further said that if a person's name is on the voter list, then he is a voter, and he should be treated accordingly under the law. Regarding the cases registered against Brijesh Singh, he said that many people have cases registered against them. Until the charges are proven in court, it is not right to form a final opinion.
OP Rajbhar's statements make it clear that Brijesh Singh's role could be important in Subhaspa's strategy. At the same time, his statement on the possibility of Awadhesh Prasad becoming the Deputy Speaker has once again heated up the politics of UP. Now it remains to be seen how much impact these political statements have on the strategy in the coming days.
