LUCKNOW: Accusing the police and jail administration of acting as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the SP workers and leaders will soon start a "jail bharo" movement to protest against police excesses and failures of the state government.
"I had come here with the party workers to show them the gates that we have to eventually enter in the days to come," Akhilesh said talking to the media outside the Lucknow district jail where he had come to meet party worker Manish Jagan Agarwal who was arrested earlier in the day and remanded to judicial custody. The ex-CM was, however, not allowed to meet him.
