India Today
SP assures you the case will be pursued in such a manner that not only the one who took the life of farmers will go to jail but also those patronising them, says Akhilesh.
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday condemned the state government over grant of bail to union minister Ajay Misra's son in Lakhimpur case, saying he would ensure that the culprit and his protectors go to prison when he comes to power.
"The minister's son who trampled farmers has got bail from court. The government did not pursue the case as it should have been.
“SP assures you all that our government is coming and when it does, the case will be pursued in such a manner that not only the one who took the life of farmers will go to jail but also those patronizing them," Akhilesh said addressing an election meeting here.
Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Misra's son Ashish Misra is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident which had left eight people, including four farmers, dead.

Ashish Misra was recently granted bail and was released from Lakhimpur Kheri jail after his arrest in October last year.
Faced with continuous attack on the law and order situation during his government, Akhilesh said that those who want to take law in their hands need not vote for his party in the coming elections.
