What we are witnessing in Parliament right now is not opposition, not accountability, and definitely not serious politics. It is pure, low grade theatre. Samajwadi Party and Congress have once again joined hands to turn the highest legislative body of the country into a cheap circus.
What Exactly Are They Doing?
In the ongoing Monsoon Session, SP and Congress MPs have been jointly staging protests inside and outside Parliament, primarily around the alleged theft of Ram Mandir donations.

The SP Drama: SP MPs, led by Akhilesh Yadav, have gathered at the Makar Dwar, carrying placards and raising absurd slogans like “Chadawa chor, gaddi chor” (Thieves of offerings, leave the throne). They even brought a symbolic donation box to enhance their theatrical performance.

The Khangress Participation: Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, have been standing shoulder to shoulder with the SP. They have lined up behind banners, raising their own slogans to corner the government.

The Absurdity: In a display of peak political performative art, Priyanka Gandhi was reportedly seen holding an umbrella for SP MP Jaya Bachchan during one of these staged protests.
This is classic “Chor Chor” politics – scream “thief” at the top of your lungs so that no one remembers your own record.
This Is Old, Tired Congress Tactics
Let us be clear: this style of politics is not new.
For decades, Congress perfected the art of disrupting Parliament, creating chaos, and reducing serious debates to street level drama. Walkouts, slogan shouting, tearing papers, and turning every issue into a moral performance has been their signature move whenever they have no real answers.
Now Samajwadi Party has fully adopted the same playbook. Instead of building a serious alternative narrative in Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav’s party is busy copying the worst habits of the Congress — performative outrage, selective morality, and empty theatrics.
Why This Will Hurt SP in the Upcoming UP Elections
This tomfoolery may give them a few viral videos and some applause from the usual ecosystem, but it is going to cost Samajwadi Party dearly in Uttar Pradesh.
UP voters have seen this movie before. They know the difference between genuine opposition and cheap political drama. When SP leaders stand next to Congress and scream “Chor Chor” while having their own long history of corruption, dynasty politics, and law and order failures, people notice.
By tying itself so visibly to Congress’s old disruption style, SP is reminding voters of the very politics they rejected. In a state where development, law and order, and Hindutva related sentiments still matter, this kind of parliamentary circus looks desperate and outdated.
Bottom line:
SP and Congress are once again proving they are “Chor Chor Mausere Bhai” — not because they are exposing anyone, but because they are using the same old, bankrupt tactics of noise over substance.
And in Uttar Pradesh, noise without credibility has a very short shelf life.
