Akhilesh Yadav shares video

Taking to X, the Samajwadi party chief shared the video of the clash on social media, slamming the BJP.

“Misconduct and abusive language are the ladder to success in the BJP. Deplorable!” wrote Yadav.

In response to Yadav, the BJP Mathura MP questioned the SP leader’s silence over the misogynistic comments directed at his wife Dimple Yadav by Maulana Sajid Rashidi, the president of the All India Imam Association (AIIA).

“Akhilesh Yadav ji, what is truly condemnable is when a fanatic grossly insulted your wife, the honor of your household, Mrs.@dimpleyadav ji, and you remained silent as if your mouth was filled with curd. If you have even a shred of shame left, open your mouth and respond to the fanatic who insulted the honor of your household, a woman. How do you face your wife at home?” wrote Chaudhary on X.
