LUCKNOW: UP opposition leader Akhilesh Yadav has condemned the assassination attempt on Bhim Army leader Chandrashekhar Azad. The Samajwadi Party leader also alleged that jungle raj is prevailing in the state. He tweeted that if the people's representatives are not safe under BJP rule, what will happen to the public.

सहारनपुर के देवबंद में आज़ाद सामाज पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष श्री चन्द्रशेखर आज़ाद पर सत्ता संरक्षित अपराधियों के द्वारा जानलेवा हमला घोर निंदनीय एवं कायरतापूर्ण कृत्य है।

बीजेपी राज में जब जनप्रतिनिधि ही सुरक्षित नहीं तो आम जनता का क्या होगा?

यूपी में जंगलराज!
