Mahoba: SP MP Ajendra Singh Lodhi faces trouble; case over derogatory remarks against PM

May 12, 2026

Ajendra Singh Lodhi, the newly elected Samajwadi Party MP from the Hamirpur-Mahoba-Tindwari parliamentary constituency in Bundelkhand, has found himself embroiled in controversy. A statement he made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stirred up a political storm in the state. In connection with this matter, the police have registered a case against the MP under serious penal sections and have initiated an investigation.

It is worth noting that on Monday, Samajwadi Party (SP) workers were staging a protest at the District Collectorate to press for various demands. During his address at this event, MP Ajendra Singh Lodhi crossed the bounds of decorum, going so far as to label the Prime Minister as “anti-national.” The MP employed language against the PM that the BJP has condemned as an insult to the country’s highest constitutional office.

Vigorous Protests at Alha Chowk
As soon as this statement came to light, it sparked massive outrage among Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, leading to vigorous protests and the burning of an effigy at Alha Chowk in the city. Meanwhile, the BJP demanded that a case be registered against the MP and that appropriate action be taken against him.

The Full Story
On Monday, Samajwadi Party workers were protesting at the Collectorate over issues such as power cuts, the drinking water crisis, problems associated with smart electricity meters, and a crop insurance scam. While addressing the media during this protest, MP Ajendra Singh Lodhi crossed the lines of propriety. Launching a direct attack on the Prime Minister, he labeled him “anti-national” and asserted that there has never been—nor will there ever be in future governments—a Prime Minister like him.

Questions Raised on EVMs and Smart Meters
The MP did not limit himself to personal remarks; he also leveled serious allegations against the government’s policies. He claimed that the smart electricity meters installed in homes continue to run even during power outages. Additionally, he raised the issues of a major crop insurance scam in the district and the closure of hundreds of schools. The MP also questioned the situation in Bengal and the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), while confidently asserting that the Samajwadi Party would form the government in the state in 2027.

The MP Declared: “We Will Not Be Intimidated”
Despite reports of effigy burnings and protests, SP MP Ajendra Singh Lodhi has shown no signs of backing down. Hitting back, he asserted that his opponents are capable of anything—let them do as they please. “We are not ones to be intimidated, and we will continue to speak the truth. If the BJP members wish to file a police complaint, let them go ahead; what worse could possibly happen?”
