War of words intensifies in UP ahead of 2027; opposition hits back at Maurya’s ‘snake’ remarks

Political rhetoric has heated up in UP ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya likened the Samajwadi Party to ‘Saampnath’, the BSP to ‘Naagnath’, and the Congress to ‘Kaliya Naag’. The opposition launched a fierce counter-attack following Maurya’s statement; the SP questioned the stability of Maurya’s political standing and the Congress also took aim, while the BJP hit back by highlighting the SP’s past tenure and asserting its own claim to form the government for a third consecutive term in 2027.
