Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has targeted the BJP over the appointment of its new Uttar Pradesh president, calling the party communal and capitalist, and questioning whether leadership changes can mask its unchanged ideology and market-driven political approach.
New Delhi: Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party over the appointment of its new Uttar Pradesh state president. Targeting the ruling party, Yadav described the BJP as a “communal and capitalist” organisation and questioned its political intent behind the leadership change.
Reacting to the appointment, Akhilesh Yadav said that the BJP is not removing leaders it cannot replace, but instead is deliberately reducing their stature. He pointed out that appointing a state president from the same region or a neighbouring district reflects the party’s internal power dynamics rather than genuine organisational reform.

It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hails from Gorakhpur, while the newly appointed BJP state president, Pankaj Chaudhary, comes from the neighbouring Maharajganj district. Political observers believe Akhilesh Yadav’s remarks were aimed at highlighting this regional proximity, suggesting an attempt by the BJP to rebalance power without altering its core leadership structure.
Akhilesh Yadav further questioned the BJP’s ideological stance, stating that while the party can appoint a new president, it cannot offer new ideas. “From where will the BJP bring a new ideology?” he asked, asserting that leadership changes alone cannot hide what he called the party’s unchanged political mindset.
