Case against Mayawati's nephew after he compares BJP government to 'Taliban'

The case has been registered against BSP National Coordinator Akash Anand

A case was registered on Sunday against Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati's nephew Akash Anand and four others for allegedly using objectionable language during a poll rally in Uttar Pradesh's Sitapur earlier in the day.

"This is a government (UP) of traitors. The party that leaves its youth starving, and enslaves its elderly is a terrorist government. Taliban runs such a government in Afghanistan," Akasha Anand said at the same rally.

"There is a bulldozer government in UP, while the prime minister denies it. The National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) report says that there have been 16,000 kidnappings in the state. Shame on a government that cannot ensure women's safety and give food to kids," he said.

The case has been registered against BSP National Coordinator Akash Anand, party candidate Mahendra Yadav, Shyam Awasthi, Akshay Kalra and Vikas Rajvanshi under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 171c, 153b, 188, 502(2) and Section 125 of the RP Act.
