New Delhi: The fact that color is so intertwined with politics is nothing new. When you say saffron, it inevitably comes down to the BJP. Does that mean you should wear saffron if you are a Congress worker? Is it in the hands of the district president himself? Amethi in Uttar Pradesh witnessed one such incident.
What exactly happened? Akhilesh Shukla, a Congress worker, was once the Congress president of Amethi. He went to the party office on Durgapur Road on Thursday evening wearing a saffron kurta and white pyjama. At that time, the party’s supporters started taunting him as a BJP supporter. They alleged that Akhilesh was working for the saffron party in the upcoming civic polls.
You want. The argument escalated. He was then beaten up by district president Pradeep Singhal, Youth Congress district president Shubham Singh and others.
Akhilesh lodged a complaint with the Amethi Kotwali police station on Friday. Shubham called the whole thing “baseless”. The Congress leader claimed that he was making such allegations without getting important posts in the district leadership.
