Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya recently launched a verbal attack on Akhilesh Yadav’s acronym ‘PDA’, labeling it a ‘Parivar Development Agency’ and dismissing it as a ‘hoax’. Maurya’s comments came in response to the Samajwadi Party chief’s description of PDA as a coalition of backward classes, Dalits, and minorities.
