Akhilesh claims socialism is ‘Ram Rajya’; BJP hits back, calling SP’s socialism a path to ‘annihilation’ (samapt-vad).

The political battle in Uttar Pradesh appears to be intensifying ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. On the occasion of Dussehra, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav pledged to fight against evil, asserting that this struggle must begin in Uttar Pradesh. This statement is being viewed in the context of the upcoming electoral contest against the BJP. Referencing the ideals of Lord Ram, Akhilesh Yadav linked socialism with ‘Ram Rajya,’ suggesting that the path to ‘Ram Rajya’ lies through social equality, justice, and public welfare. Meanwhile, for the BJP, the concepts of ‘Ram Rajya,’ cultural values, and good governance have remained central to its political agenda.
