The Azad Samaj Party is mobilising the youth to hold nukkad sabhas in every ward of the Gorakhpur Urban constituency, from where its chief Chandrashekhar Azad is set to contest against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
The party said it has drawn inspiration from Dalit icon Kanshi Ram, a claim contested by a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader, who termed it a “marketing” gimmick.
