Rajbhar took to X to ridicule the SP’s ‘PDA’ (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) slogan, reinterpreting it to suggest it symbolises violence against Dalits by specific communities. He stated, “What did you think, Om Prakash Rajbhar forgot? Won’t PDA, meaning ‘Ahir Will Beat’ and ‘Minority Will Beat’ (SP), release its second installment? Won’t it publicly expose the atrocities by SP Yadavs and SP Muslims on Dalits, zone by zone and commissionerate by zone? That is your misconception.”

The SBSP leader cited purported data from the Uttar Pradesh Police, claiming that members of the Yadav and Muslim communities accounted for the majority of cases involving Dalit oppression.

“If you know how to read and write, then stare hard and read the UP Police report. In every police zone and police commissionerate across the entire state, when it comes to cases of atrocities on Dalits and the exploited, it’s you lot who are involved the most. Starting right from Gorakhpur,” he declared.

Targeting SP President Akhilesh Yadav, Rajbhar added, “Yesterday, your ‘big brother from abroad’ Akhilesh Yadav was sitting in AC and doing a press conference, saying that Gorakhpur has the highest atrocities on Dalits. That’s why it’s the highest–because here too, your major unruly and criminal-minded loaders’ misdeeds are screaming the loudest.”

Rajbhar provided specific statistics from various police zones to support his allegations:

• In Gorakhpur zone, 760 cases were registered; of these, 297 involved Yadavs and 344 Muslims.
• In Varanasi zone, 603 cases included charges against 650 Yadavs and 178 Muslims.
• In Agra zone, 287 cases implicated 85 Yadavs and 93 Muslims.
• In Kanpur zone, 334 cases involved 166 Yadavs and 57 Muslims.

He further mentioned urban commissionerates, stating: “In Lucknow, out of 1094 cases, 410 Yadavs and 428 Muslims were found involved. In Prayagraj, in 126 cases, 91 Yadavs and 39 Muslims… These are all the ones who’ve unleashed untold cruelty on Dalits.”

Rajbhar concluded by affirming that the state police were taking stringent measures against the accused. “UP Police is giving them proper treatment, by the book. No shortfall in service and hospitality–don’t you worry about that. Sad, but the truth is, your people’s behaviour can never change toward non-Yadav backward society and Dalit brothers. Because the atrocities have seeped deep into your thinking,” he said.

Political tensions in Uttar Pradesh heightened on Wednesday after Rajbhar claimed a “major political realignment” was occurring within the Samajwadi Party, provoking a war of words between the ruling alliance and the opposition ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. He asserted that developments in the state have taken centre stage for the upcoming polls and criticised political actors for joining parties based on personal interest, making pointed remarks regarding alleged outreach involving Samajwadi Party leaders.
