Wearing blue 'patka' won't erase SP's past: Akash Anand

BSP national convener Akash Anand, speaking at a public meeting in Barhapur, Bijnor, said SP leaders cannot wash away past deeds such as tearing up the 2012 Lok Sabha SC/ST promotion reservation bill. He mocked Akhilesh Yadav's blue patka posters and called the PDA slogan a farce for securing Dalit, backward and Muslim votes. Anand also accused the Congress and BJP of being two sides of the same coin and criticised the BJP government over sugarcane growers, 13 lakh vacancies and the closure of over 25,000 government schools.
