Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav today accused the BJP of "changing" the caste of ninth-century ruler Mihir Bhoj and tampering with historical facts to secure the votes of a certain community. ये इतिहास में पढ़ाया जाता रहा है कि सम्राट मिहिर भोज गुर्जर-प्रतिहार थे पर भाजपाइयों ने उनकी जाति ही बदल दी है। निंदनीय!छलवश भाजपा स्थापित ऐतिहासिक तथ्यों से जान-बूझकर छेड़छाड़ व सामाजिक विघटन करके किसी एक पक्ष को अपनी तरफ़ करती रही है।हम हर समाज के मान-सम्मान के साथ हैं! pic.twitter.com/Zw9ifKpDg5
This comes days after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath unveiled a 15-foot statue of the ruler in Gautam Buddh Nagar's Dadri, stoking a controversy that saw sections of Gurjar and Rajput communities stake claim over the king's legacy.
"It is taught in history that King Mihir Bhoj was a Gurjar-Pratihar. But the BJP people have changed his caste," Mr Yadav said in a tweet in Hindi.
