LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party president and former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday promised jail for Ashish Mishra, son of Union minister of state for home Ajay Mishra Teni, “for mowing down farmers in Lakhimpur” once the Samajwadi Party government is formed in the state. He said the case would be aggressively pursued in the court to ensure that Ashish Mishra is sent back to jail along with his “saviours”.
Addressing election rallies in Auraiya, Kanpur Dehat, Kannauj and Farrukhabad on Wednesday, Akhilesh attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party government for shoddy handling of the case where farmers were crushed to death under the wheels of a jeep allegedly belonging to Ashish Mishra.
