Canada Uber Driver Tells Passenger He Would Have ‘Kidnapped Her If It Was Pakistan’
Lucknow,Several people, including mediapersons, were injured in a reported mismanagement when a huge crowd turned up to greet Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav at his ‘janata durbar’ in his ancestral village of Safai in Etawah on Diwali.
The injured have been referred to the Uttar Pradesh Rural Institute of Medical Sciences and Research at Safai.
On Saturday, CM Yadav had driven down to Safai along with his children and two ministers to celebrate Diwali with his extended family in Safai.
This is his first visit to Safai after the recent family feud in the Yadav first family. As news of his arrival spread in the area a large number of people thronged the village to meet him.
The crowd became so huge that it converted into a ‘janata durbar’ and was shifted to the PWD Guest House as people flocked to wish him on the festive occasion.
However, the security arrangements were clearly inadequate as many people were injured when the mismanagement of the crowds led to a mild stampede-like situation.
Recently expelled uncle Ramgopal Yadav also arrived at Safai on Saturday along with son and Firozabad MP Akshay Yadav.
While other uncle and Samajwadi Party state president Shivpal Yadav is also expected to arrive in Safai, father Mulayam Singh Yadav has no plans to visit the Yadav ancestral village for Diwali, party sources said.
A large number of people greeted CM Yadav on Saturday along the 200 km route from Lucknow to Safai as he stopped at various places to meet people on the soon-to-be-inaugurated state-of-the- art Lucknow-Agra Expressway.
