Troubles have mounted for Om Prakash Rajbhar after a court in Mau issued a non-bailable warrant against him. The case relates to a controversial statement he allegedly made during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, where he urged people to beat BJP workers with shoes if they came seeking votes. The remark has resurfaced, bringing legal consequences years later.
Old Statement Triggers Fresh Political Storm
The issue gained traction again after it was raised in the state Assembly on Thursday. Opposition members questioned Rajbhar over his past remarks, calling them inflammatory and inappropriate for a public representative. The resurfacing of the statement has reignited political tensions in Uttar Pradesh.
Heated Exchange in Assembly
A sharp verbal clash broke out between Rajbhar and Samajwadi Party MLA Atul Pradhan during the Assembly session. Pradhan reportedly called Rajbhar “the biggest fraudster,” which triggered an angry response. Rajbhar hit back strongly, escalating the confrontation and drawing attention from other legislators present in the House.
Political Fallout Intensifies
The controversy has added to the growing political heat around Rajbhar. His remarks, both past and present, are being widely debated, with critics accusing him of promoting hostility, while supporters argue that the comments are being politicized. The situation is expected to remain tense as legal proceedings continue, and political parties sharpen their attacks.
