Samajwadi launches 'jail bharo andolan'

By Our Staff Correspondent

MEERUT, OCT. 4. In an impressive show, the Samajwadi Party national secretary, Dr. (Mrs.) Sarojini Aggarwal, and Mr. Gopal Aggarwal, led a large number of party workers, a good percentage of them women, in courting arrest on the first day of the State- wide `jail bharo andolan' today.

A former district Panchayat president, Dr. Aggarwal described the BJP-led Governments at the Centre and Uttar Pradesh as an utter failure on all fronts. Prices, lawlessness and corruption have reached a new high under the BJP rule and the people are now ready to vote out the Sangh Parivar components during the coming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, she said. Referring to the massive inflation that is likely due to the unprecedented increase in petroleum prices, Mr. Gopal Aggarwal said the present Government was acting as an agent of foreign traders.
