    After Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi announced a thanksgiving march in Amethi and Rae Bareli following their Lok Sabha victory, Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar dismissed its significance.

    Rajbhar stated, "No matter how many marches they take out, nothing is going to happen to them." Commenting on the Union Cabinet, Rajbhar noted that ministers with good performance have retained their portfolios.

    When asked about the absence of a Muslim minister in the Union Cabinet for the first time, he remarked, "Muslims are responsible for their own condition. They do not raise leaders themselves and rely on Congress and SP, who are their biggest enemies. At the time of independence, 38 per cent of Muslims were in government jobs. What has happened now? It's like a cow going to the butcher for protection."

    On the upcoming Uttar Pradesh cabinet meeting, Rajbhar mentioned that many important issues would be discussed. Addressing the Ayodhya defeat, he said, "It was the decision of the people, and we accept every decision."
