August 04, 2013 15:39

A day after Sonia Gandhi's letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal, the Samajwadi Party flexed its muscle over the Food Security Bill.

"We will vote against the food bill in its present form," said Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal today.

The Akhilesh Yadav government has been severely criticised for ordering the suspension of Nagal, who has campaigned against the sand mafia.
