UP's OP Rajbhar attacks SP's 'PDA Pathshala' as caste-based favoritism, sparking political clash over education policy.

UP Minister OP Rajbhar criticized the Samajwadi Party's "PDA Pathshala" initiative, mocking its acronym as standing for "Parivar Development Authority" and alleging it promotes family favoritism. He claimed the program teaches "A for Akhilesh, D for Dimple, and P for Parivar," accusing the party of using caste-based politics. The controversy intensified after SP leader Akhilesh Yadav asserted the government couldn't halt the pathshala, while BJP and SP MP Rajeev Rai accused the UP government of closing schools for commercial gain and misleading the public. The dispute underscores broader political tensions over education policy and governance in Uttar Pradesh.
