Ajendra Singh Lodhi, a Member of Parliament from the Samajwadi Party representing the Hamirpur constituency in Uttar Pradesh, has been booked by police for allegedly making derogatory comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The incident occurred on May 11, 2026, when Lodhi referred to Modi as 'anti-national' during a media interaction. Following a complaint from Satyendra Pratap Gupta, the BJP district media in-charge, Lodhi faces multiple charges including assault on a public official, unlawful assembly, and promoting enmity. Gupta accused Lodhi of inciting 'caste hatred' and disrupting public order during a protest regarding power cuts and smart meter issues. A video of the incident circulated on social media, showing Lodhi's critical remarks about Modi's austerity appeal and foreign visits. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath condemned Lodhi's comments, labeling them as objectionable and a serious breach of democratic decorum, reflecting a troubling political culture.
