Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya has made an unsubstantiated claim, asserting that the Congress party is now attempting to gain power with the assistance of Pakistan. In a statement widely circulated on social media, Maurya claimed that Congress lacks confidence in the Indian populace and is instead relying on "Pakistani leaders" to achieve its political ambitions.
These allegations by the Deputy CM appear to lack direct factual evidence, emerging as the state government faces scrutiny over various developmental and administrative issues. Such claims by a prominent state official are often perceived as a tactic to shift public discourse away from domestic concerns and government performance.
Maurya's remarks were presented as a response to recent statements from Congress leaders regarding India-Pakistan relations. However, the specific content of those Congress statements and their connection to Maurya's severe accusation remains unclarified, leaving the basis of his assertion open to question. Political analysts note that such rhetoric frequently surfaces in the Indian political landscape, particularly when ruling parties seek to deflect attention from internal challenges or perceived failures. The Congress party has yet to issue an official response to these specific claims
