BJP demands action against SP's Rachna Singh
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Sunday demanded action against Samajwadi Party (SP) state executive member Rachna Singh over a video which she had shared on Twitter. Poonawalla tagged the Election commission of India (ECI) and Uttar Pradesh (UP) police in the video on Twitter and said "Urging @ECISVEEP, @Uppolice Please take note of this open threat by SP leader Rachna Singh (state executive member) to burn & cut rivals."
There seems to be no end to the troubles for the Samajwadi Party. Uttar Pradesh police arrested Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate from Kairana seat Nahid Hasan under the Gangsters Act. Hasan, who was arrested ahead of the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Kairana court. Hasan was wanted in connection with a case registered against him under Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act in Kairana police station in February last year. He was arrested on Friday while he was on his way to Shamli Collectorate to file his nomination papers. Later, he was presented in Additional District Sessions Court before a Fast Track Court bench.
On Saturday, the Lucknow police pasted a notice outside Samajwadi Party (SP) headquarters here. The notice addressed to the SP chief, stated that prohibitory orders restricting a gathering of four or more people and provisions of the pandemic act have been imposed and also ban on rally meetings as per EC guidelines.
The action was taken a day after a massive crowd gathered at the Samajwadi Party office in Lucknow on Friday, in violation of COVID-19 norms, for the joining-in function of two rebel ministers and some MLAs. An FIR against 2,500 unknown Samajwadi Party activists was also registered at the police station in this connection.
