New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh police on Sunday (October 26) said that reports about shots being fired at Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad in Bulandshahr has not been established.

Azad Samaj Party national president Chandrashekhar Azad on Sunday claimed that shots were fired at his convoy in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr. In a tweet, he said that shots were fired when party members were campaigning for Assembly by-polls that have been scheduled for November 3.

“Opposition parties have been terrified of our candidate in Bulandshahr elections and today’s rally worried them, due to which my convoy was fired at in a cowardly manner. This shows their desperation… they want the atmosphere to be toxic but we will not let this happen,” Chandrashekhar Azad tweeted in Hindi.

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।
