Now, just field a criminal as your candidate, and your 'PDA' will be complete—that very PDA where 'P' stands for *Parivar* (family), 'D' for *Daulatmand* (wealthy), and 'A' for *Apradhi* (criminal). For 'P' (family), you have Prof. Ramgopal-ji; for 'D' (wealthy), you have Dhanraj Nathwani-ji. Now, only a criminal remains—go ahead and make the announcement," UP Minister wrote on X.
