In UP's Lakhimpur Kheri, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has reacted to the incident where a BJP MLA was beaten. He opined, 'Injustice breeds violence.' The physical skirmish by people agitated due to election manipulations by the MLA is a hot topic.
Akhilesh Yadav further stated that such conditions are a disgrace to democracy. Manipulation during elections seems to have become a BJP strategy, which is highly condemnable.
Notably, chaos erupted today in Lakhimpur over the nominations for the Urban Cooperative Bank delegates election. Amidst this, Advocate Association's President, Avadhesh Singh, slapped BJP Sadar MLA Yogesh Verma right in front of the police. The spouse of a former chairman is also reportedly involved. This video of the BJP MLA's thrashing is going viral on social media.
According to reports, factions clashed during the Urban Cooperative Bank delegate nominations in Lakhimpur city. The argument escalated into physical violence. Taking advantage of the situation, Avadhesh Singh slapped the BJP MLA. However, the police present at the scene quickly separated the parties. But, by then, some people had already executed the physical assault on the MLA.
Post-incident, BJP MLA Yogesh Verma stated that his kurta was torn and he was beaten. The administration responded late. What kind of fair election is this? Lawyer Avadhesh Singh did not act rightly by raising his hand. Notably, the cooperative elections are scheduled for October 14, and vote counting will also take place on the same day.
