Akhilesh Yadav, the president of the Samajwadi Party, has accused the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh of tarnishing its image following the emergence of a controversial video featuring a senior police officer. This officer, who is currently overseeing the West Bengal assembly elections, is depicted in a manner that Yadav argues contradicts the BJP's claims of promoting respect for women. He emphasized that the incident reflects poorly on the governance of the state and expressed that it is shameful for women associated with the BJP. Yadav called for immediate action against the officer, stating that the response will reveal the chief minister's true stance on such issues. Additionally, a Samajwadi Party delegation visited the family of a deceased girl in Ghazipur, offering financial support totaling ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD). While Yadav initially planned to visit the family, he has postponed this visit to a later date. In a separate incident, Yadav also visited BJP MLA Anupama Jaiswal in a Lucknow hospital after she sustained injuries during a protest against him.
