In a high-voltage political debate, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav strongly criticized the BJP for what he called “selective morality” in its anti-corruption stance. During a prime-time panel moderated by ABP News anchor Romana Isar Khan, Yadav raised pointed questions about transparency, targeting the Modi government’s refusal to disclose the Prime Minister’s educational qualifications and the secrecy around the PM CARES fund. He alleged that while opposition leaders are routinely arrested, no BJP minister faces the same scrutiny. Yadav also cited data claiming that 28 ministers in the Modi cabinet face criminal charges, with 19 facing serious allegations. The debate intensified over Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to remain in power despite being jailed for over 170 days. When compared to Jharkhand’s Hemant Soren, who resigned while in custody, the Aam Aadmi Party defended Kejriwal’s move as necessary to resist BJP’s alleged conspiracy to topple opposition governments. The discussion revealed deep political divides over ethics, law, and leadership, with both sides accusing each other of hypocrisy. The debate concluded with more questions than answers, leaving viewers pondering: Is morality truly a political tool in today’s India?
