Hours after the incident, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took to his X handle and termed the incident a “criminal act.” He also questioned the UP government led by CM Yogi Adityanath and asked if it was going to do anything about the “deadly attack”.
“The deadly attack on MP Hon’ble Ramji Lal Suman ji by throwing tyres and stones on his convoy has led to an accident which could have turned into a fatal accident. This is a criminal act. Collecting so many tyres together is itself proof of a deep conspiracy. This is once again a deep lapse of intelligence or deliberate negligence. If the government and administration is trying to act ignorant despite knowing all this, then they should know that anarchy spares no one, one day BJP and their allies will also fall prey to such violent elements,” wrote Yadav in Hindi, sharing the video of the incident.
“Is there anyone in the country to take cognizance of the deadly attack on an MP, or will the government of the supremacists go underground by maintaining a shameful silence because he is a ‘PDA MP’.
“Now, has the bulldozer lost its power or has the UP government surrendered to anarchy, or is all this happening with the consent of the UP government?,” he added.
सांसद माननीय रामजी लाल सुमन जी के क़ाफ़िले पर टायर व पत्थर फेंककर, उनके ऊपर जो जानलेवा हमला हुआ है वो उस ऐक्सीडेंट का कारण बना है, जो प्राणांतक दुर्घटना में भी बदल सकता था। ये एक आपराधिक कृत्य है। इतने टायर एक साथ इकट्ठा करना, एक गहरी साज़िश का सबूत ख़ुद है। ये एक बार फिर… pic.twitter.com/6LvvLR3zid— Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) April 27, 2025
