Lucknow, February 13: Pooja Pal, a former legislator expelled from the Samajwadi Party, has expressed her support for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath‘s recent statement affirming the state government’s commitment to the interests of the Pahl community. Pal stated that she received justice during the tenure of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
In a session at the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted his government’s achievements, emphasizing its dedication to the Pahl community. He mentioned that his administration has worked to deliver justice for Raju Pal and Umesh Pal, individuals connected to the community of Ahilyabai Holkar.

In an interview with a news agency, Pooja Pal responded to the Chief Minister’s remarks, asserting that the people of Uttar Pradesh and the Pahl community are well aware of which government is working in their favor. She affirmed that the Chief Minister’s comments regarding Ahilyabai Holkar are accurate, as the BJP government has honored her. Pal also noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recognized Ahilyabai Holkar on a national level during her birth anniversary, a gesture not previously extended by any other government.
Pooja Pal condemned the brutal murder of Raju Pal, which occurred during the tenure of the Samajwadi Party government. She alleged that the family was not provided with the body in a timely manner, raising questions about the administration at that time. Pal emphasized that after the BJP came to power, CM Yogi Adityanath took steps to ensure justice in this case, reassuring the Pahl community.
She acknowledged that while Raju Pal’s murder took place under the Samajwadi Party’s rule, the current BJP government has worked to deliver justice.
