Loni Cycle Row: BJP MLA Nandkishore Gurjar Slams SP's 'Anarchy' Plot
BJP MLA Nandkishore Gurjar hits back at Samajwadi Party allegations after a cycle distribution event in Loni was cancelled by authorities.
The political atmosphere in Ghaziabad has reached a boiling point after BJP MLA Nandkishore Gurjar launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP). This confrontation follows the cancellation of a high-profile cycle distribution event in Loni, which the SP claims was sabotaged by the ruling party, but which the BJP describes as a thwarted attempt to incite chaos.
The Spark: A Cancelled Distribution Drive
The controversy began on October 25, 2026, when a program organized by SP leader Anuj Pradhan was halted by the local administration and Loni Nagar Palika Parishad officials. The event was intended to distribute bicycles to 1,000 girl students who had secured 75% or higher in their board examinations.
However, authorities stepped in to stop the gathering, citing a critical lack of required permissions. The crackdown didn't stop at cancellation; officials imposed a fine of ₹1,86,000 on the organizers for illegally erecting a stage and tents on government land at Garhi Kattaiya village.
Gurjar Hits Back: 'Intent to Create Anarchy'
Responding to allegations that the BJP orchestrated the shutdown for political gains, MLA Nandkishore Gurjar asserted that the Samajwadi Party was playing a dangerous game. He claimed that the unauthorized gathering was an attempt to create anarchy and incite riots in Loni, especially given that the event took place during the period of the model code of conduct.
Taking a dig at the SP's electoral prospects, Gurjar remarked that while he personally hoped the party could secure at least 27 seats to ensure a functional opposition, their current behavior suggested they might struggle to reach even that number.
Personal Jabs and Political History
The BJP legislator didn't stop at administrative arguments, delving into the internal history of the Samajwadi Party. Gurjar referenced the legacy of Mulayam Singh Yadav, claiming that when the patriarch was removed from his national position, he had cursed Akhilesh Yadav, predicting he would never become Chief Minister.
Furthermore, Gurjar addressed a recent social media post by Dimple Yadav on X. While he noted that he had previously defended her when a cleric made disparaging remarks, he stated that the current circumstances demand an apology from her.
Akhilesh Yadav Vows 'Cycle Satyagraha'
The Samajwadi Party has not taken the cancellation lightly. SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav has labeled the government's actions as "anti-student" and "anti-education." In a defiant response, he has threatened to launch a 'Cycle Satyagraha' if the state continues to obstruct their initiatives.
Akhilesh Yadav announced a bold new strategy for the PDA (Picchde, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) cycle distribution programs: if official events are blocked, the party will pivot to a door-to-door distribution model to ensure the students receive their bicycles regardless of administrative hurdles.
