Shots Fired at Bhim Army Cavalcade: Chandrashekhar Azad Tweets From Bulandshahr

"Today's rally has left them worried. This is the reason shots were fired at my convoy in a cowardly manner. It shows their disappointment over their poll loss and they want the atmosphere to be vitiated," he tweeted in Hindi.

New Delhi: Azad Samaj Party national president Chandrashekhar Azad on Sunday alleged that shots were fired at his cavalcade in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr while he was there to campaign for party’s candidate in bypolls. The Bhim Army chief was in Bulandshahr to seek votes for Hazi Yamin, who is contesting from Sadar assembly seat. Elections are being held in Sadr constituency after the death of Vijay Sirohi, BJP MLA from the constituency.

बुलन्दशहर के चुनाव में हमारे प्रत्याशी उतारने से विपक्षी पार्टीयां घबरा गई है और आज की रैली ने इनकी नींद उड़ा दी है जिसकी वजह से अभी कायरतापूर्ण तरीके से मेरे काफिले पर गोलियां चलाई गई है। यह इनकी हार की हताशा को दिखाता है ये चाहते है कि माहौल खराब हो लेकिन हम ऐसा नही होने देंगे।
