Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has launched a sharp attack on the BJP government through a post on the social media platform X. He alleged that in a particular case, evidence was first played around with in the name of an SIT, it was decided who would be saved and who would be trapped, and only after that is an FIR being registered.
In his post, Akhilesh Yadav sarcastically remarked that this is the kind of injustice on display under BJP rule, where action is taken against the small fry while the real and powerful culprits walk away comfortably. He wove his point into a couplet:
This is the spectacle of injustice you will see under BJP rule, the topmost twig gets the noose while the branches get a pardon!
Here the topmost twig, the weakest part of a tree, was his reference to ordinary, small people, while the thick branches pointed to the big and powerful figures who, he alleged, end up being let off.
What Akhilesh Is Alleging
Akhilesh Yadav went on to say that the public believes that, under the pretext of an SIT, all the evidence would have already been cleaned up and it would have been firmly settled which big fish are to be protected and who is to be implicated. According to him, the FIR is being filed only after all of this has been decided. He has raised questions over both the process of the investigation and the intent behind it.
Public Reaction
The post drew a mixed response. Many users backed Akhilesh Yadav's questions and cast doubt on the fairness of the probe, while several others hit back, arguing that when action is being taken after the SIT report, dozens of people have faced the axe and the misappropriated money is being recovered, then why the objection. Some defended the government's approach, while others raised pointed questions about the system itself.
