Akhilesh Katiyar

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's offensive remark today on Mayawati has drawn sharp comments on Twitter, with Tweeple drawing parallels with BJP leader Vinay Katiyar, whose comments on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Smriti Irani had triggered a flood of protests.

The Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti on Friday announced to intensify its agitation over the Patel quota issue, adding that it would invite prominent politicians from other states, including Nitish Kumar, Mamata Banerjee, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray to address the rallies.

A defiant Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has said it will perform rituals today to mark the end of a controversial yatra that had failed to take off from Ayodhya on August 25, despite a severe crackdown by the Uttar Pradesh government in the aftermath of communal clashes in Muzaffarnagar.
