LUCKNOW: Minutes after the SP announced the candidature of Nahid Hasan from Kairana, BJP attacked SP chief Akhilesh Yadav accusing him of fuelling the politics of riots and appeasement.
The BJP categorically took the name of Nahid and Aslam Ali terming them “tainted”. Hasan was arrested by the police under gangster Act, following which his sister Ikra Hasan had filed nomination papers.
