Reacting to this, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhliesh Yadav, alleged that the BJP is forcing the leader of their alliance to bow down and apologize.

Arvind Rajbhar is contesting from the Ghosi Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh for the upcoming general elections.

Reacting to it, Arvind Rajbhar said that the opposition is making baseless allegations.

“…A video is viral on social media and the opposition is making baseless allegations that I was forced to apologise. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak asked me to seek the people’s blessings. I was seeking blessings from the party workers,” he clarified.

“In any big event or even at my party’s rally, I bow down to my party workers. The opposition has nothing left with them; it is just a start. They’ll do so many things to break the confidence and unity of our party workers,” he said.

He expressed confidence that the NDA would win all 80 parliamentary seats in the state.

“I received the blessings of NDA workers today and on June 4, again, the slogan will be raised, ‘Ab ki baar, 400 baar’., we will win all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.

In a post on X, Akhilesh had said, “This is the arrogance of the dominant people of the BJP, who are forcing the leader of their own alliance party to bow down and apologize; this is the height of humiliation.”

His post added, “The entire BJP party should collectively apologise for this misdeed. The BJP has insulted not just one person but the entire society to which he belongs. The Rajbhar community will vote against the BJP in protest against this insult and will uproot the feudal thinking of the BJP.”
