Akhilesh Yadav should have stood by Anita Yadav: Shahnawaz Alam

In an exclusive chat with National Herald Shahnawaz Alam pointed out that Priyanka Gandhi met Anita Yadav to uphold the democratic values their party believes in. The members of Indian National Congress were surprised that Samajwadi Party didn't protest at all even after the video of their lady worker Anita Yadav being assaulted went viral.

Shahnawaz Alam, who leads the minority cell of Uttar Pradesh Congress was speaking to us on Priyanka Gandhi's three day visit to Uttar Pradesh and her future plans.

Shahnawaz Alam insisted that they we need to give people's power back to them. He was particularly concerned about Prime Minister's constituency. Varanasi apparently is in terrible shape. From boatmen to weavers there is an air of gloom, he said.
