The Samajwadi Party (SP) has charged the Uttar Pradesh government with succumbing to pressure from the ruling BJP, resulting in the abrupt cancellation of a program commemorating Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's Mahaparinirvan Diwas.

At a press conference at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Auditorium, SP leaders including MP R K Chaudhary criticized the sudden withdrawal of allotment for the December 6 tribute event, calling it an 'authoritarian and undemocratic action'.
