Chandrashekhar Azad

Azad Party national president Chandrashekhar Azad visited Rampur on Wednesday to extend his support to the Samajwadi Party candidate for the December 5 by-election in the assembly constituency in Uttar Pradesh.

Azad garlanded a statue of BR Ambedkar and visited senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan at his house.

The assembly bypoll in Rampur Sadar was necessitated due to the disqualification of Khan following his conviction in a hate speech case.

The Samajwadi Party has fielded Khan's close aide Asim Raza from the seat.

Talking to reporters, Azad said, "Democracy and (future of the) youth are in danger today. Unemployment and inflation are increasing. Farmers are not getting fair price for their crops, they are in danger. Women are in danger."

He claimed the people of Khatauli, Rampur and Mainpuri will teach a lesson to the "arrogant" government.

"People will make them (BJP) realise that the public is the master. At the moment, they (BJP) consider themselves to be the master," Azad said. -- PTI
