Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati has attributed her party’s defeat in Haryana to the Jat community’s casteist tendencies. Meanwhile, the Amethi murder case continues to stir political tensions.
The brutal killing of teacher Sunil, his wife Poonam, and two daughters from Raebareli’s Sudamapur village has sparked outrage. The opposition is cornering the government on law and order and atrocities against Dalits, ahead of upcoming by-elections.
Rahul Gandhi, MP from Raebareli and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, may visit the grieving family soon. Gandhi had spoken to the teacher’s father, Ram Gopal, offering condolences and support.
Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhim Army’s Amethi district president Devendra Bhimraj have also condemned the atrocities, with Azad likely to visit the family.
