Yadav will install statue to appease Rajputs

Akhilesh Yadav announced plans to install a statue of Maharana Pratap, aiming to appease the Rajput community after facing criticism. This move follows backlash over remarks made by a party member. The Samajwadi Party leader's decision comes after protests by the Karni Sena in Uttar Pradesh, triggered by comments against Rana Sanga. Yadav initially defended the remarks, angering Rajputs, and is now attempting to repair relations. Yadav also urged the BJP government to extend Maharana Pratap's holiday, highlighting his party's past actions. This strategy is seen as an effort to gain support before upcoming elections.
