War of Words Between UP Ministers OP Rajbhar and Anil Rajbhar Sparks Political Buzz

Two cabinet ministers of the Uttar Pradesh government, Om Prakash Rajbhar and Anil Rajbhar, came face to face with sharp verbal attacks in Varanasi on Monday, turning political differences into a public spat.

The controversy began when OP Rajbhar made a strong statement alleging that votes are being “sold” in the country. Challenging his critics, he used the phrase “maa ka doodh piya hai to batao,” which immediately sparked backlash. He also made indirect remarks about Anil Rajbhar and his family’s past, escalating tensions within the ruling alliance.

Hours later, Anil Rajbhar responded, expressing clear discomfort with the language used. He said that mothers should not be dragged into politics, adding that such statements are inappropriate and against political decorum. Anil clarified that he had not named any individual earlier and stressed that alliance partners should be handled with restraint and respect.

The war of words exposed growing unease within the government camp, especially on sensitive issues like UGC regulations, caste politics, and alliance coordination. While OP Rajbhar defended his remarks as bold and honest, Anil Rajbhar urged maturity and discipline in public discourse.

The incident has triggered political buzz in Uttar Pradesh, with opposition parties watching closely and social media reacting sharply. The clash highlights internal friction at a time when unity within the government remains crucial.
