  "account": "Lucknow, September 21: SBSP president Om Prakash Rajbhar criticized Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav following an unruly meeting of party office-bearers from Etah and Kasganj. Rajbhar described the gathering, which was intended to devise election strategy, as a \"wrestling match.\" He expressed disbelief at the meeting's turn for chaos, stating, \"What happened, right before our eyes! They called a meeting, but it turned into a wrestling match.\"\n\nRajbhar attributed the unruly behavior to the SP's practice of recruiting criminals instead of workers. He invoked an old proverb, \"If you sow a babool tree, how can you expect mangoes?\" implying that the party's actions would not yield positive results.

He further elaborated on this claim by suggesting that the party's leaders should explain the acronym PDA (Paisa, Dabangai, and Aapasi Ladai) - Money, Muscle Power, and Internal Fights. Rajbhar questioned how they could be intoxicated by money when no party tickets had been distributed, power secured, and the party hadn't even come to power yet.\n\nFurthermore, Rajbhar lambasted the SP for organizational disarray, asserting that \"the SP and discipline simply cannot go together.\" He advised Akhilesh Yadav to dissolve the party's state unit in Etah-Kasganj if he wished to win the upcoming elections. Rajbhar contended that this issue wasn't confined to Etah-Kasganj but permeated the entire party.",
